[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 526447, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#8b4513][SIZE=2]There is a HUGE "Save the Bees" movement going on across the country - don't know if you've heard about it. The population of bees is dwindling rapidily due to insecticides, weather changes, etc. So, there is a big effort to NOT kill bees. Our ENTIRE front lawn (and it's freaking big) is loaded with those carpenter bees!!! Millions (seriously) of them have made holes all over the place and buzz around out yard all day while it's sunny. In a couple of weeks, they will all but disappear. I don't know or care where they go, but they leave. We have to be patient...I won't even walk across the lawn or front walkway there are hundreds of them buzzing all over the place. I'm afraid one will get up my skirt or pant leg. H won't kill them.
