Do you have bees swarming around your home and want an easy way to get rid of them? This might be the strangest remedy you have ever heard but it DOES work!
My neighbors decided this year that they were going to be bee keepers! This is all fine and dandy besides the fact that I am allergic to bees! They have probably about 30 bee boxes in their yard which is located about 20 feet from my house!
When they built their first, maybe, 10 boxes I was seriously worried! Last year I was stung by some type of bee and my whole arm swelled like a balloon and was in pain, red, hot, and covered in rash! I really don't want to go through that again so I decided to do some research!
Apparently, honey bees are non-aggressive which is good because my yard was swarming with them! However, Dakota was stung twice in a 2 week window! The research I came up with only landed me with things I have tried in the past that never worked! The inverted 2-liter bottle, the orange juice mixed with borax, the cinnamon sprinkled along the yard perimeter, etc, they never worked for me!
I was talking to my mother-in-law one day and she told me to stuff a paper and hang it from my deck. I of course asked if she was feeling ok...hehehe. How is a stuffed paper bag going to keep the bees out of my yard?! Well the reason it works is because the bees think it is a hornet nest and they stay away! And it ACTUALLY WORKS!!
To make this amazing contraption I just took a medium sized paper bag and stuffed it with some plastic grocery bags I had an abundance of. Then tied a string to the top and tied that to the top deck! It has been there over a month and has worked great ever since I put it up! It is not the prettiest thing in the world but it does work!
If you decide to give this a try please leave a comment and let me know if worked well for you also!
