cplummer Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Unreal. 2 yellowjackets seen today? It's March what the heck are they doing out? Never heard of this but one landed on my sweater sleave while taking the dog out for a squirt. Anyone else ever see bees in March? This is my first.

jordanl Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 So far only house flies. But I did see a yellow jacket in mid December. Weird year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It freaked me out. Crazy weather does crazy things to all creatures i guess It was pouring rain and I saw two guys out fishing ! Crazy ! Saw a few lady bugs in my backyard , a few strays from the hundreds eating my apples that were half eaten by squirrels & birds last fall. A muskrat surfaced right under my rod yesterday ....thought it was a small beaver at first... While releasing another squirrel from my trap today I saw at least 25 robins on sparse open grass near the 12 Mile . Give those yellow jackets a quick bath in Sunlight dish soap . Add 2-3 oz.to a 1 liter sprayer & slowly fill with warm water , mix well .A few shots should kill them stone dead in 10 seconds . Also kills hornets and instantly kills ants . Don't use on honey bees please . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplummer Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I love fishing in rain. If you use a good high end suit you'll never get wet I would never harm a honey bee or any bee because i am allergic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
