You have to admit that is a lot of fun. I used to think only I did that, then found it's more common than lacrosse or hockey.

Im making a bee trap like on the first page. Can anyone tell me what size hole they are drilling. The trap is for my camp.

So the other day I ordered a couple of badminton rackets from Amazon for cheap and today little wick and I headed out to kill some bees. I killed 3 at the house and he had not killed any so we headed down the dock to a neighbor's dock cover that had a ton of bees the other day. I wanted to put him in a place where he could practice swatting bees. Well swatting is what we did when everything was said and done I killed 100 bees today at the neighbor's and little wick killed around 20. I think he is hooked and we put a hell of a dent in their population today.

I just broke my last badminton racquet today on a bee killing session. Time to find another set.

I need to thank you for this unbelievably awesome tip. I was knocking capenter bees out of the sky with an airsoft gun all weekend. decimated the population in 2 days

The likking has been brutal, my son and I are pushing 200 bees in the last couple of days. As territorial as these bees are, anyone ever set up a decoy? Thinking something black hanging from a cane pole...

Doesn't Mojo already make one?

I watched a live bee attack a dead one on the concrete yesterday. I bet a hanging bee would be money...

I bet there is a bee shaped/colored lure at Acad or Bass pro.

I bet so also, I will need to look, a fly would work even better because it would move in the wind or some painted syrofoam. Little wick might have a new project.

Swatted a bee today and made a decoy, no luck with it this afternoon, but I have knocked the population down pretty good. I will give it another try...

So I have been doing paperwork at the house today and set the decoy out and have had multiple bees come in to the decoy. I have killed two and many others come and leave before I can walk out to swat them. I had 2 attacking a few minutes ago.

I know a man who used to kill them and spiders with a butane torch but he eventually had to stop doing it this way.
