Carpenter Bees

[ADGambill]

We have 3 or so dozen carpenter bees flying around our porch and now when its cold outside they start to drop like flies and end up crawling on the porch. They dont sting but I grab them with pliers everymorning that they are out there and put them in a cool-whip container and put them in the fridge. They float in the water and sometimes have a little life left in them so they will buzz and flap the wings a little. They make great bream bait. I use a little soapy water when I see one buzzing around one of the holes and this does not kill them but makes their wings slick so they cannot fly. As I said these pests make EXTREMELY good bream and bluegill bait.

try useing a baseball bat thats fun you can hit them suckers 25 or 30 yards if you make good contact or if your not so skilled use a tennis raquet.
