Threat of spraying bees

[Dallasbeek]

No, but I pass by Boring sometimes.  My stepson is a pain management specialist in Bend.  They can't get away that much, so if we want to see them we go there.  If it's good weather, we fly into Portland and drive over, but I'm deadset against buying snow chains for a rental car.  Hey, where is your sister city, Dull?  Boring and Dull -- perfect pair, huh?

dang, i thought the shotgun was conflict resolution....

i would sit out there while the guy does the work.  covered or not, he doesn't sound like someone you can trust around your hives.  sitting out there with a sheet, weapon of your choice, and a cleaning kit?  so much the better.............

I thought the sheet thing was for southerners.............you were talking about wearing it.......right?!?!  :evil:

Dallas,
I think that man is just a little bit full of himself. Your hives are on your property right? You might have to speak slowly and use small words to convey the ideas and concepts behind "trespassing" and "destruction of private property". He can't help himself you might also mention something about a sheriff just to make it clear. Doesn't look like that MBA is working out for him.

Honestly,  I like the direct approach Kathy mentioned but I'm trying to change my ways.

it sounds like this yard man cannot be trusted ever. what if a month or two from now he gets stung? I'd explain to him that these bees were livestock & your personal property & make it clear that if he sprayed them you'd prosecute him for trespassing & destruction of property. then I'd install a game camera. also-since is going to be an ongoing issue you might put up a section of privacy fence next to the hives.

...or get a silent attack dawg.

Well number 1 if that yard feller spray'd my hives on my property one of us will get a butt whoop'n.
I'd press charges for killing my livestock.
That's exactly why I don't live in town.
If I can see my neighbors house they're too close.

Threat is over.  Bees were freed by 9:30 am. Workmen were too afraid of bees to work. The same neighbor had a big oak removed last month that shaded a large part of my yard.   Now I can move them to a better spot and we'll all be happy.  Okay, don't tell me the two feet or two miles thing.  I moved them one block early in the spring using Michael Bush's method and it works.  Thanks for the support.
