So, I get the spray bottle of liquid SEVIN, wait for nightfall (thud), and spray the living crap out of those *!@#%& BEES! Hmmm, the next morning many little bee carcuses, carcai, carcussses, non-living bee bodies are lying around on and in the wall! Woo Hoo! Not so fast buckwheat, there are still a multitude of the rotten little beasts of questionable parentage flying around and crawling in/out of their entrance/exit. Bollocks! Though there don't seem to be as many of them, there are still way more than I want. Sooo night falls once again (thud). I spray even more SEVIN into their scowling little bee faces. The next morning, even fewer faces!
By now I have discovered that there is no storeroom wall between it (the storeroom) and the alley wall so all of the soapy water/Hot Shot/PineSol/Wasp&Hornet Killer/Seven has been going into the storeroom soaking the crap out of who-the-heck knows what that is piled ever-so-tightly into that end of the storeroom. Oh well, such are the adversities of bee slaying.
I feel it is now time to use the bugbom and sealo foamo expando crapo stuff. Off to Wal-Mart I trot and find that it is impossible to buy a can of bugbom. By the way, I'm leaving off the "b" to fool the stupid cybersitter that thinks I might be Alkaida. Anywho, I wind up buying the super economy 4-pack of Hot Shot (my favorite brand now it seems) Fogger. Night falls (thud). I make my way to all most the back of the storeroom, start the fogger, place it on a semi-level box, and run like a dirty shirt for the door. Well, maybe not run as there was the lawn mower, 3 bikes, a table saw, scroll saw, drill press, waterbed parts, pool solar blanket and various & sundry other paraphernalia to avoid on my way out. I then shut and lock the door to wait for the morning. Sunup. Only one or two bees make their appearance. Good. After work there are a few more of them so (thud) I set off another bugbom inside and one outside spraying directly into the bee entrance/exit. Morning comes, I see no bees so I use the sealo foamo expando crapo stuff in nearly every nook I can find/reach. I left the rest of the sealing to Danny since I had to go to work and was dressed like it. He got some of the gunk on his shorts so he quit.
Hoozah! Hoozah! I think I finally won the bee war! Unfortunately I won't have time until after Sarah's wedding/reception to make my way to the back of the storeroom to see what hiveage exists and what kind of disaster I created with all the gunk I sprayed in there. It shouldn't cost much more than the wedding to clean it up.

What a week! Marrying off one of the daughters and killing the bee colony. Way to go! Thanks for the update.
That last comment was from me, doesn't quite sound like Benjamin :)
This has been a stressful week or two but after reading your blog--I just kept thinking-I am SO glad that was not me! I had no idea bees could be so hard to get rid of. I'd love to see some video of all your bee experiences but I guess you'd rather not spend any more time with them than you have to. :-)
