How do you swampbillies keep them away from your pirogues?

They’re trying to eat my back porch, but they’re also pollinating my blueberries...so I’d hate to just kill them.

Do you enjoy eating?

Kill enough of those guys and you won't anymore.

22LR with shot shell. It's a hell of a lot of fun.

I tolerate them. With the demise of the honeybee, we depend upon bumblebees more and more for pollination. I like watching them raise their broods in the holes they make in my pergola.

Every summer from about 6-10 y/o my old lady neighbor would give me a tennis racket and let me run wild in her backyard (her backyard was the woods and creek so very big), and she would pay me a quarter for the corpse of every carpenter bee I brought back to her. Good times
