Yeah... sorry about that. I probably sounded pretty bloodthirsty. Apologies.
Oh, I just realized that you didn't "Sad" it. Huh! I have escaped from the sad emoji....

No, I strongly considered giving it an angry face.

Ah. I see.
Sorry.

We have some bees or wasps or something under the eave/corner of the garage in the garden. Actually kind of in it. There’s a hole in the corner they come in and out of. They don’t seem to bother anyone when we walk by the path next to them or care that we’re there so I think I had ruled out wasps? But they’re darker than honey bees I think but hard to get a good look at them as I don’t dare get too close. They’ve been there several weeks or longer and are always in and out.

Look up bee keepers in your area. Someone will likely be willing to come look. If they're bees, they're a treasure. Someone will want them. If wasps... spray the inside of the hole with copious amounts of something to be found somewhere on the biohazardness continuum.

This is the second time today I have seen this. You quoted Nabili's post but it is saying that you quoted Overo Mare's post. It is linked to Nabiki's post

Hmmm I wonder how I managed to do that...

No biohazards are required to kill wasps or bees. Both can be killed by spraying with a very soapy mixture of dish washing soap and water.

If they have an entrance into a wall, filling the entrance with spray foam can also solve the problem.

I don't know how you did it. I do know how to do it intentionally.

Indiscriminate killing is wrong. She does not know whether they are bees or wasps. Do not indiscriminately kill things. Either way they are pollinators and are valuable and necessary in the grand scheme. If they are causing a problem and are honeybees, they can be relocated into a hive. If they are wasps and are causing a problem them they may be destroyed.

That’s exactly my thinking as well. So far they haven’t been aggressive at all and just mind their business so I don’t want to harm them. I figured they probably pollinate too since they are right in the garden. At first I thought they were wasps until they didn’t attack and then I thought they were bees but I think they’re too dark so idk.

I think it is a problem with the site today because I have seen it a ton of times and highly doubt all of those people are doing something wrong to produce it.

You don't differentiate wasps from bees by their color. Wasps have a "wasp waist". The thorax and abdomen connect through a very narrow waist.

Bees are hairy. Wasps are not.

Honeybees are just one of many kinds of bees. Honeybees can come in a wide variety of colors ranging from light colored Italians to dark Carniolans.
