Speaking of bees, we have a problem with those ones that look like
bumble bees boring holes in our outdoor rafters and such. I see
bumblebees working the flowers and I know we need pollinators badly
because of the honey bee shortage. I try and catch the little devils in
the act of going for the rafters on the carport and kill them with the
fly swatter. I am getting good enough to win a tennis championship!
Anyone have any tips on how to tell these pests from the good guys?
