Will try to take a good look at one of the hopefully dead bees when we get back home from Boone. Paper wasps sound pretty terrible!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624367358276749264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994252736424930679.post-65116974511773334432012-07-13T01:00:36.972-04:002012-07-13T01:00:36.972-04:00As always, never enough time with Johnny and JoAnn...As always, never enough time with Johnny and JoAnn, but am thankful for the time spent with them. Nick kept us laughing as he suited up to tackle the bees. I loved our time spent together with family.Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174178594764368712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994252736424930679.post-68180504309601100302012-07-13T00:47:56.195-04:002012-07-13T00:47:56.195-04:00By the look of the paper looking hive, I suspect p...By the look of the paper looking hive, I suspect paper wasps. They can be aggressive if disturbed. In the future they make a spray that renders them flightless and so once you hit them with the spray they can't come after you. They also don't sting the way bees do. Honey bees can only sting once then they die. Paper wasps don't have a barb on the end of their stinger so they can sting over and over again. You should NEVER kill American honey bees! Local bee keepers will come get those and put them in a hive for honey, plus they aren't aggressive. I worked bees with my uncle when I was growing up. Lots of fun and I still love having bees around the house.<br /><br />Great picture and I'm sure it was a great laugh and loads of fun!Steven L.
