I find these stories fascinating. I think I may have mentioned that my in-laws have a bee box in their apple orchard in northern Michigan, but they don't mess with it-- it was installed at the request of one of the colleges and Ag students come out to deal with it-- it's a win-win: the apple trees get pollinated, and the students collect data on the colony. I got stung in November for only the second time in my life when I reached into an open bag of horse treats. I felt bad for the bee-- it just wanted to eat molasses in peace! Someone told me to put a raw onion on it... fortunately we were at a horse show with a hamburger truck and, though they looked at me funny (and asked "red or white?"), it worked like a charm! Glad it was my hand and not my head, though!
We had a wasp nest in my bedroom under the top of a chest of drawers. Luckily my husband and daughter found it while I was away a took care of it. Awful!!!
