Save yourself a bunch of time and money. Go to an auto parts store and buy the cheapest can of carburetor cleaner you can find. One quick spray with the tube stuck in the hole and you have dead bees. Takes seconds. Same goes for wasps. Works much better than the weak-arse wasp spray they sell.

I saw probably on here a nice rig you can build to lure them and then do away with the bodies. Something about diagonal holes so they don't see light and just die of thirst.

This works for sure.

Here's a link, apparently people are selling them.

I stuck a blasting cap in the hole before... whoops!

Blew the 2x4 in half.
