Have had good success with malathion and bees, you have to follow up with a good snort of diesel or they will come back. Soapy water works well on yellowjackets, have not tried it on bees.

BIL was stabbed high in the back inches from midline, about a year ago. He was out for a walk when attacked from behind by two 16 year olds and kicked in the head after the stabbing, busting an ear drum. He no longer lives in the city but relocated to middle of nowhere, and is a proud new gun owner....

Nicely done and great rifle. I recently saw a 100lb sow nursing four in the middle of the road. Three back and one red\white. Later the same day saw a humongous bobcat all gold with no spots Biggest bobcat I ever saw, feeding hard on little pigs and turkeys no doubt.
