[QUOTE="Shinneryfarmer, post: 4005559, member: 46291"] I made a big mistake about 20 yrs ago. I have known bees are a important part of nature for all my life. But getting repeatedly stung is not my idea of fun. About 20yrs ago went into a barn to retrieve some fence post to repair a fence. Bees were buzzing around but I paid them no mind. In the process of carrying out one of the bigger post I bumped the barn wall. Oh Bejesus, I was stung about 10 times dropping the post running out of the barn. Left them alone till the next day, went back in to get post attacked again. There was one of the biggest swarms I had ever seen in the corner of the barn. Ok, that's enough, tried killing them with spray but only after getting stung more times again. So I throw 4 or 5 cans of spray inside the barn and shoot them with the 20 gauge. Bees start falling to the ground everywhere, next day bees are dead covering the floor. I can go safely go into my barn again. Fast forward over the years, realize my plants and fruit trees have suffered tremendously due to lack of pollination. Thinking back now should have gave them the barn. I really didn't keep alot in it at the time. I guess what I'm trying say is sometimes we need to think of the long term effects of our actions (even when angry or aggravated) especially as it relates to the future of our environment. [/QUOTE]
