I finally had a chance to go look at my bee-infested truck again today. It's been almost a week since the poisoning attempt. This time I felt bolder in my home-made bee suit (military surplus mechanic's coveralls, mil surplus insect head net, and some gloves), and I got in a lot closer to the...

Well, if they like hydraulic fluid, then that might explain why they chose my wrecker! It has the stuff all over the place after more than 40 years of leaks and spills.

I didn't get a chance to do more recon on Sunday evening, and now the dreaded work week has arrived, so I don't have anything new to report today. I bought a couple cans of spray foam sealant to try sealing up the entrance hole, but I haven't found any bee-specific products yet. I think my next...

Yeah, I may be able to use that caulking idea. My local Lowe's and Home Despot don't have any bee-specific products, but maybe I ought to go pick up a can of Great Stuff foam this afternoon. I wonder if it sticks to poisoned steel? :lol:

You may be on to something there! I'll drive back over there, put on my home-made bee suit, and do some more recon... I don't think either of those will punch through the frame rail to get to the bees. How about .50BMG API? rofl The humor is not lost on me, even though I'm the poor sap who...

Calling an exterminator may be my only option. The truck is not road-worthy, so driving it anywhere is not an option at this time. Anyway, I'd need to fully submerge the truck to get water up to where those wily bees have moved in! I don't think anything involving fire is a good option on my...

RE: bees I have no idea of what kind of bees they are. I assume they aren't killer bees, because they didn't swarm me when I attacked their hive. The brakes aren't working on this truck, either, so I think I really need to eliminate the bee problem before I do enough to the truck to make it...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Help! Bees in my M543A2 Wrecker! I don't have power at my property yet, and my genset makes a knocky sound so I don't want to fire it up until I have a chance to take a peek inside its crankcase. :(

Re: RE: Help! Bees in my M543A2 Wrecker! Show up today with a Landoll and $10k in cash, and it's yours! :wink:

I have an unusual and annoying problem: A family of bees has decided to move in to my M543A2 wrecker. The front door to their hive is a hole where one of the mounting bolts passes through the wrecker body, right behind the center left wheels. To make matters worse, I have a flat tire right there...
