How can I get rid of the bees that just invaded my little frog habitat?
For months, I've been watching the tadpoles grow, and the mosquito fish
swim in a tiny 3-foot long by 10-inch wide by ten inch deep "frog habitat".
I stuffed an old blouse and put reeds in there and kept the water level
high and frogs found it. So did the mosquitoes so I added two mosquito fish
to control the larvae.
Everything was fine until the bees found it. Now they buzz around so much
that I'm afraid to watch over my little tadpoles.
How can I get rid of the bees w/o killing the frogs and fish?
(What are the bees doing there anyway; it doesn't take all day to drink!)
If they are Honey bees, don't kill them. Honey bees are necessary for
almost everything you eat, or plant, and they are dying off for some reason.
Google them if you don't know the difference between them and Wasps.
Unless they are africanized honey bees, they are not aggressive unless
you disturb their nests.
If you have swarms of them, call a local beekeeper. He will remove the
nest.
Beekeepers rent out their bees for pollination of commercial farms.
