How can I exterminate a bumble bee nest that's buried contained by the ground lower than a few years' worth of pine needles I found it this afternoon when I was doing some landscaping at...
I found it this afternoon when I was doing some landscaping at my spanking new home. Luckily I saw them and got out of the area back I was stung (I'm allergic) but now I cannot finish what I be working on. I used some bee spray but it was for hornets and wasps (it's all I had) and it did little to assistance.
If it is much larger than a honey bee and black it is a bumble bee and they are aggressive than any other bee. The only agency I know to do away with them is to wait until gloomy when have returned to their nest pour the nest full of gasoline then return to the house. unlike honey bees, they can sting you repeatedly near no harm to themselves. They are very toxic and if you are allergic I would ask someone else to do it.. the singular I know to control them is with a garden house and a nozzle with spray on it...if you spray them next to water they cannot fly for a short time...if speedily on your feet you can step on them...

hope this help.
I have never heard of bumble bees living below pine needles. They usually bore a hole in lumber and build their nest. If its not to close to your house pour gasoline on it. That wasp and hornet spray should have done the livelihood.. u could try drowning them with a hose
Answers: The bumble bees that nest in the ground are usually solitary. Paper wasp or yellow jacket nest in large colonies contained by the ground, Its not good for your plants but gasoline or diesel poured directly on the nest will either eradicate them or drive them away(it dissolves their nest) When firefighters encounter wasp nest in the woods that's how they get rid of them. Be sure to wipe up the diesel or gas out of the ground after the bees are gone. Water from a hose might work but usually the nest itself is protected from rain so it may only be transient.
