1) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Oweeeeeeez....bees? Not BEES!?!?!? (Message 1283221) Posted 13 Sep 2012 by KWSN-Sir Gunnar of Norrbotten Post: We get underground honeybee nests here in Vermont on a regular basis. I keep one in the back lot established to pollinate our trees and plants, but when others turn up, I call one of three local beekeepers, who will excavate the queen and the others will follow into a hive. I've had 11 hives removed in the last 6 years, because the whole family except me is allergic. We have other underground critters too. The worst are ichneumon wasps. They not only sting, but will lay eggs under your skin with their long ovipositors. Ermines in the garage and cat in the house keeps rodents away, except woodchucks. They have to be bombed out of their tunnels and relocated or covered up. Ni!
