Not so smart...

Zopi, you weren't trying to aggravate them with a baseball bat by any chance, were you? ;)

Weeellllllll.....

They were holed up in a piece of tin stovepipe attached to an old barn...I'd trot by and whack the pipe with a long stick and take of at a long trot...grumpy little buggers...

got rid of the bees finally...i had a case of kidney stones and was bumming around the house bored (stoned) out of my gourd...and got to thinking that it was going to be way too much trouble to tear down and haul off the chunks o barn....so I set it on fire.

Worked. No more bumbles.

That spot is now the upper end of my garden...big maters too...
