Bees sting once and die, wasps can keep stinging
Bees suck the nectar from plants, wasps are carnivores and will eat you

Wasp and Hornet killer sprays are crap in my neighborhood. Used a whole can over 2 - 4 days (they built their nest in the mailbox flag) and killed maybe 2 or 3 of them. Just pissed off the rest of them. Had to resort to the old method.

Not tried any of the newer stuff, go with the can that looks like the last product redesign was in the 1960's when helmet hair was all the rage.

Yeah that one works pretty good but there was another that really had an impressive flame range and mass. I think it was gold and it was AWESOME! (or so I hear from, you know, a friend).

there was a brief period in the mid-70s where my brother and I received many nightly whippin’s cause of this stuff and a lighter.

Glad the next generation learned the ropes!

What do kids know of today when it comes to making hairspray flamethrowers, tennis ball (or really old beer can) cannons, potato guns, or pipe bombs.

White faced bumblebee's do not sting. We used to tie them to thread and scare girls when I was a kid. Today it would be dudes with man buns.
World is going down the tubes.
My dad taught me to swing a baseball bat by getting me to stand in front of the barn and try to smack them as they flew by....got to where could make contact about 70% of the time. Looking back on it him and mama were probably having piggy sex and needed something to distract me but it worked...I could knock the shite out of a baseball and play a pretty mean game of tennis...

I like your style.
Although I don’t I don’t have any Aqua Net readily available in my shop, I’ve always got a can or two of aerosol starter fluid I can get my hands on in a pinch.

I can tell you that they do not like brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner or lacquer thinner.
