Bees in my 5th Wheel
I have bees going in and out of the Kingpin of my 5th Wheel. I bought a bee suit and was hoping to see the hive in the Kingpin. I did not see any hives. There are dead bees inside the 5th wheel. What should I do?

- Get some Ortho Sevin powder. Dust it generously around the entrance to their hive, so they will track it in as they come and go. In a couple of days they will all be dead, queen included.
- My understanding of Bees is I need to find the Queen and kill the Queen. The Queen is normally in the hive.
- I had the same problem once and my wife is terrified of bees. I waited till late in the evening and the bee activity subsided. Then I gave the interior area of the kingpin a good soaking with wasp and hornet killer. Not sure if I was able to hit the nest as I couldn't see it either, but they must have moved on or died.
- If the live bees are still around I would get a hornet/bee blaster and put on that bee suit. After using the blaster look to see if there are any more bees around. If not take your shop vac and clean up the dead bees.
