Dealing with bee's nests .
It's horntail fly season again . I'd like to share the safest , nontoxic way to deal with these critters
that I know .
Locate the nest during the day . Go back after dark with a rag or cotton batting torch on a metal
rod . Soak the torch in flamable liquid and stick in ground a safe distance from the nest and light .
With a long pole from an angle not in line with the light disturb the nest . Angry bees will swarm out of the nest directly into the flame , burning off their wings . No structures are in danger this way and there are no toxins left in the ground .
