Well he poured some on the hole, probably too much. then it rained. The borax basically sealed the hole, no more problem.A Stone Gathererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763530057889661436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-50170825595564595772010-09-14T20:24:24.181-04:002010-09-14T20:24:24.181-04:00The burn spot looked like the head of a goose.

We can use the 20 foot spray and hit it until they are stunned, then drench them a little closer.<br /><br />I don't think gasoline and fire would work so well for us in that spot...<br /><br />Glad your bees are gone!Kayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-82027586492992094852010-09-14T17:36:47.000-04:002010-09-14T17:36:47.000-04:00Didn't he want to get a hive and start bee kee...Didn't he want to get a hive and start bee keeping?!!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-51490733982861628562010-09-14T13:19:43.335-04:002010-09-14T13:19:43.335-04:00This year our neighorhood had an infestation of ci...This year our neighorhood had an infestation of cicada killers. They are mean looking and huge bee like things. They looked like something from Armageddon. They made holes all over the lawns. They threw out the dirt like a groundhog.
