    The problem you folks are dealing with are wasps and yellow jackets, not honey bees. If you put out a sweet poison you are killing honey bees. Put out a poison mixed in a high protein bait (cat food, obviously). Suspend it somewhere your cats cannot
    reach it like from a metal hanger and you will eliminate your problem.

    Or better yet, get rid of those fucking cats. Filthy creatures!

    I feel the same way about most dogs and humans.

    Yellow jackets now come in two varieties, the traditional US jacket
    with the bright yellow stripes. They'll eat meat when nothing else is available but they much prefer sweets.

    The german yellojacket's colors are much more subdued than US jackets.
    They are very aggressive and will attack in swarms They build their
    nests above-ground, usually in rotted structures or tree forks. Their
    sting is much more painful than the US jackets.

    The solution is Fipronil, a long delayed acting insectide that is the
    main ingredient in FrontLine cat flea treatment. NOT FrontLine Plus
    and NOT dog treatment.

    The idea for the long delayed characteristic is so the workers take
    the Fipronil back to the queen which is eventually killed.

    About 5 years ago we had a horrible German yellow jacket and hornet
    invasion. On a jar lid I mixed a bit of ground beef with a single
    drop of Fipronil and on the other side I did the same with some honey
    and another drop of Fipronil.

    Within 3 weeks this area (about 50 acres) was sterile for stinging
    insects. It's taken this long for them to start to recover. I'm
    already seeing enough of those critters that I'm going to do another
    treatment before it gets hot.

    Haven’t noticed any of the German varieties here in Upstate NY. Can’t wait - sounds fun. Biggest problem here are the mud wasps. Already some waking up and getting in the house somehow.

    Just do it really early in the morning or when it’s raining. If you try to do it at night a lot of them will still be out on dates.

    This time I just sprayed the meat. It will still be okay as long as it’s grilled a little longer.
