Late winter should be empty. Should be good after a few hard freezes I would think. How close is it to the ground? Folks around here used to say you could tell how hard the winter would be by how close to the ground hornets build nests ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Lou : My cousin told me if you put salt on them they cleared out . Grand dad had a old car down on the farm we played in sometimes - - but bumble bees had built a nest in the cotton seat stuffing making it no longer a play area Tried the cousins remedy to situation to gain play space - bees did not appreciate it I will say Grandma's remedy of mud packs over sting areas works a lot better than cousins idea of clearing out mad bees ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?
