Default Got bee's?

A few weeks back we noticed some bee's coming in and out of the wall on the back room of the paint shop, we had a guy come in that sprayed some powder to kill them. We had about 200 dead bee's on the floor in the room and today I decided it was time to vacuum them up, this is what I found behind the insulation. The one is about 2'x2' and the other it about 2'x3' and there about 6" thick. At the bottom of the walls there has to be several thousand dead bee's.

Neighbors have wicker furniture on their porch. They have cushions on them. Lady sat on one of the chairs early in the morning and a couple of bees started bothering her so she left. Later in the day I stopped over. Bees, yellow jackets I think, were swarming. We got some spray and a rake. I lifted the cushion with the rake handle and they had made nests everywhere there was an indentation where the buttons on the cushion were. She could have been severely stung had she sat on it in the afternoon.

Should I kill it with fire before or after I remove the 55 gallon drum of thinner and all the paint?

What kind of bees Tim?

I got stung by yellow jackets three times today splitting logs, apparently I upset the nest in the ground.
I got hit once in the lip, and twice in the neck.
BZZZZZZZZ.

They're yellow jackets. When i first saw the bee's outside i didn't think it was a big deal but then i was mixing paint a few days later and there were a hundred of them flying around in the mixing room.

Bees don't bother me. Damn yellow jackets and wasps I hate. Bald faced hornets are bad too.

Ugh... Yellow Jackets. When I was younger about 25 years ago, I was maybe 12 or 13, I was camping with my parents along the Susquehanna River, and I got stung by ONE while riding my bike, and I went into Anaphalactic shock about a half hour later. I got to ride in an ambulance and get a shot of benedryl and a shot of epinephrine at the hospital. I was worthless the rest of the day. My body was jello from one or both of those meds. I had to carry an epipen everywhere after that and go through 5 years of immunotherapy (injected live bee venom). I agree... Kill them with whatever means necessary.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
