Controlling bees

Controlling bees and wasps in and around buildings, parks and campgrounds may be difficult and possibly hazardous. Some people are hypersensitive to bee and wasp venom and many others are greatly afraid of these common insects. Most commercial pest control operators are equipped to deal with bees and wasps and can provide service when control is warranted. Although all female bees and wasps are capable of stinging (males are harmless), only the social species aggressively do so in defense of their colonies. Solitary species rarely sting; typically, only if mishandled. Accordingly, it is imprtant to be able to distinguish social bees (the honey bee, bumble bees) and social wasps (paper wasps, hornets, yellow jackets) from their solitary relatives such as carpenter bees, cicada killers, mud daubers, etc. Truly social bees and wasps will exist in populous colony associated with some type of elaborate nest. Colonies are easily recognized by the great amount of activity in and out of the single nest site. Solitary bees and wasps, although sometimes existing in aggregations, build a small burrow in which a female raises a few young by herself; such females do not defend their

solitary nests. All bees and wasps are beneficial and should be conserved unless they cause direct damage by their nesting activity or constitute a stinging threat when a colony exists in or around structures and areas of high human activity. Colonies situated high in trees should be left alone since they are no threat. Bees and wasps can be distinguished both by their appearance and the type of nest they build. Nearly all bees gather pollen to feed their young, and possess rather hairy bodies with flattened, hairy hind legs to assist in pollen transport. In contrast, wasps capture insects to feed their young, and are much less hairy and lack the flattened, hairy hind leg pollen basket. Honey Bees In Buildings Honey Bees may build colonies in hollow walls, chimneys and attics of buildings. Here, they may annoy or at times sting the residents, and honey bee colonies (unlike other social bee and wasp colonies), may be a perennial problem. In addition, the wax combs of the nest may melt and allow honey to seep through the walls and ruin interior finishes. Abandoned honey combs can become infested with scavenger insects which may enter the home and cause additional an-

noyance. Accordingly, removal and/or destruction of honey bee colonies in structures is advised, but with special care. Honey bee colonies in structures can be destroyed by injecting 5 percent carbaryl (Sevin) dust into the entrance hole or a hole drilled through the wall into the nest itself. Dusts are most easily applied with a plunger type garden duster with the baffler removed; use about *2 pound per colony. Dichlorvos (DDVP) or propox - ur (Baygon) may be applied as 1 percent sprays but have the disadvantages of possibly not reaching a colony in a wall void and potentially damaging interior walls if too much material is applied. Both compounds are available in pressurized containers that shoot out a long, narrow stream of spray, as do other quick knock-down compounds, syringized pyrethins and resmethrin. Treatment should be done at night when bees are less active and nearly all are inside the colony. To avoid stings, wear a bee veil and gloves, and tie shirt sleeves and trouser legs. After the bees have completely disappeared, try to remove the honey and honeycomb, and close the entrance securely.

The company also reported net income for the first six months of this year of $53,575,000, equivalent to $1.40 per share. This figure pompares with $46,133,000 and $1.21 per share for the first six months of 1983.

The company said that “most of the sales gain in the first half is due to real growth in volume, with some firming of prices seen in the second quarter. The volume increase reflects a continuation of generally high operating levels and the utilization of increased capacity added in the past year. ” According to company officials, a number of significant projects are underway, including the modernization and reequipping of the company's

A quarterly cash dividend of 25 cents per share was declared, payable September 1, to stockholders of record on August 10. Paul Miller club speaker Paul Miller of Chapman Lake spoke to a large crowd at the Friday, Aug. 3, Kiwanis meeting. Paul taught biology for 37 years at the high school and college level. His program informed the group on how you can tell if a snake is poisonous or not. The eyes, head shape and the markings are all different on poisonous snakes than on non-poisonous snakes. Kirk Dewart, son of Kiwanis member Jon Dewart, had the privilege of handling the rope snake Miller had with him. Charles Spillman opened the business meeting by introducing the guests for the meeting. They were Hardld Henry, Kirk Dewart, Mac Little, John McFarland, Greg Replogle and Larry Landphair. Bill Little handled the Cause Pot and collected $29. The Cause Pot collection will be donated to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. The club also sang “Happy Anniversary” to Bill Little. Rev. Bob Ellison of the Milford Methodist Church became a member of the Kiwanis. Dan Brown sponsored Rev. Ellison and Don Arnold handled the installation service. Dan Brown mentioned several people have responded to the Kiwanis’ “Christmas In July” program. Several recipients as well as other communities have expressed their appreciation of the program. The Kiwanis plan to continue its “Christmas In July” program and expand it in the future. The club’s next meeting is Friday, Aug. 10, at 6:30 a.m. at the Milford Community Building.
