Lynn Zawojski on Apr 14, 2014Honey Bees are very necessary in the eco system and they won't harm you. The yellow wasps or mud wasps are the ones that sting us when we don't know they have dug into the ground or are in a planter. But the bees that we need are dying very fast, and my friends in Cape Cod Mass who have hives and thousands of bees each, found this winter that they all died in the hives. She had 150,000 and all are gone. They were told one of the reasons was the use of Round up which killed the bees by weakening them over the winter. Without bees, the world would be in trouble.No fruits, vegetables, etc.Helpful Reply

Lynne on Apr 15, 2014Are these honey bees or wasps??? PLEASE DO NOT try and kill them if they are bees!! We are losing desperate numbers of bees due to pesticides. We rely heavily on them to pollinate our fruits and veggies, with their numbers in decline we are risking a future without!! If you have a beehive close to your property you may be able to find someone to safely remove the hive without killing them!Helpful Reply
