Saving bees
+2
I see ideas for trapping bees and wasps in traps. Is there a way to repel the bees and wasps that doesn't kill them?

We used to be plagued with wasp and their nests until we bought a fake nest. http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Wasp-Natural-Non-Toxic-Deterrent/dp/B000W93LUU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435445504&sr=8-1&keywords=fake+beehive We hung one on our back deck and one in our front entry. Haven't had any problems since. Bees on the other hand will be attracted to certain plants because of their pollen. You may want to Google to see want "not" to plant. I have lots of flowering plants and I've noticed that since the fake hive went up we have fewer bees as well.

blow up a brown paper bag or stuff with newspaper bunch up at top and tie leaving a length of string to hang from porch or tree. They think this is a nest and stay awY. Have used this several times with good results

Guess the bag can be pretty small as it represents the hive. This is good news as I have to pull down several hives every year. Now have to find out how to keep birds from nesting on top of my electrical boxes connected to my house.
