Yikes! ...and you get Killer Bee's in your area! Better make sure that's not what they are, especially for the kiddies in the neighborhood.

They are actually docile.

Oh. Just saw this. Perhaps they're not Killers then? I wouldn't be too sure with just a small pellet/paint ball to determine that, though.

Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate, so if they can be left alone for a short period that would be a good thing. I own a pest Control company in St. Louis and am a member if the International Pest Control Operators Network www.ipconetwork.org and we have a member in the Dallas area. If you need a Pro give Roland at All Gone Services a call.

I have seen more bees around here than ever in the last year. We usually just shoot them down with a shotgun, but that might not work in a residental nigborhood, lol.

If they are not hurting you leave them alone. Without bees we all will starve.

I think they must've been Killers. Shines hasn't replied in a while.
