Re: honeybees in wood siding

Thanks for the suggestion, Mark. I'm concerned, though, that poisoning would
leave a mouldy mess and I'd still have to pull the boards.

I'm in So. Calif. We've had some night temps to 32f, with daytime highs in
the high 50s. The bees appear when the sun comes up.

I think these bees number less than 100 altogether. This is not like the
huge aggressive swarms in trees that I remember from growing up in the
Midwest. Actually more of a 'gang' than a 'mob'.
