I had a nice honey bee hive going on in my water meter. I thought about just letting the city take care of it, as they couldnt get to the meter otherwise, but then realized they would just spray it and kill the poor guys. I looked on craigs list and found a guy 3 counties over, that charged a minimum of 200 and stated he typically charged a 100 dollars an hour :(. Beginning to think the city idea wasn't so bad after all. I looked in the yellow pages and found about 3 local honey dealers. First one I called referred me to a local guy a couple of miles away. Called him up, told him the issue and he said he would come remove it for 75.00. Still not thrilled about letting go of the green, but it sounded a lot better than 200 plus or killing them. The beekeeper showed first thing the next morning. Worked a couple of hours and left a hive over the nest, says he will be back in a couple of days to pick them up. He removed all of the honey,which he said she had made a lot of, and states he has scraped everything out and will spray with insecticide at the end. He said he can't guarantee they won't be back next year. He said they were very friendly and he could have easily worked with them without cover. He is happy the queen was a producer, I am happy he is taking them home with him. He said spraying them is the first thing people think of, but it won't get rid of them. Their honey is left to ferment in there, and attracts all kinds of problems, or worse contaminates the honey that ends up who knows where, and a new crew moves in. I know my lawn guys are gonna be happy :)

@Aidan Creekmore yes it's that last picture... I think your sixth. Landed right in front of me and just sat there staring at me on the deck. I quitely got up and went into the house though I wanted to run and screen just like that 10 year old post. Sprayed cutter waited. It left because my bird reflector tape moved so I am back out on the deck nervous trying to enjoy the sun here in Georgia. Lol. Should I worry?

brendalynnsoer_shaw_ca, I have the exact same problem. There is a small bit of stucco broken away where the eavestrough (gutter) attaches to the side of the house. The wasps access their nest via that hole in the exterior wall. I imagine the nest is in the soffit. Somehow from there they can get into the bedroom below the soffit. I had the window company come out to see if they were getting in through the window, but the serviceman checked and said no. There is expandable foam all around the window so no wee chinks or holes for them to get in. For the life of me I can't figure out how they're getting in. It is the last week of October here in Edmonton, Alberta and it's getting pretty chilly out at night. We've had a couple of good hard frosts lately, but that doesn't seem to be impeding the wasps' access to the bedroom. I'm afraid the queen will overwinter in the nest. Given the heat that comes off from the house they may not die due to the cold. They may just become dormant. I dunno! I was going to get the hole closed off but now I'm afraid to, considering what you went through. What to do? What to do???

Green Up Foliage Plants that aren’t getting enough magnesium can be identified by their yellowing leaves. This is because magnesium is an essential component in the production of chlorophyll. Try sprinkling Epsom salt around your plants to achieve healthier foliage. About 1 tablespoon per 12 inches of height once a month will benefit the plants in your vegetable garden, as well as any trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses you want to green up. I diluted 1tblsp/gal. Epsom for Tx of yellow leaves, sorry my blog wasn't clear on that point. I picked the leaves with "squiggly" so I would not, in time, have an infestation possibly. I then promptly burned those leaves. the above sites are just some I read so far and saved to bookmark. Most sites list the different species and among other info there is usually info about their nesting preferences. Reeds, hollow stems, beetle bore holes, ground, under rocks, etc. are listed and some of the info led me to believe that Leaf Cutters Megachili and Osmia have similar nesting habits, the "houses" would be acceptable to both, Osmia for spring and Megachili for summer & fall.
