Bumble bees

Try using orthoboric acid... it's an undetectable form of boric acid. Insects will go out of their way to avoid boric acid unless you are able to mask its odor. It's used to kill ants and cockroaches, and only a handful of bees would need to be exposed to it for the chemical to reach the queen.

I've never used it to kill a bees nest because it takes at least a week to do the job... in the meantime the little buggers might act like they've lost their little minds, running around in circles and not acting at all like they usually do. So if you don't mind experimenting to see what murderous crazy-ass bees act like for the better part of a week, that just might be your best bet.

I don't know what the little buggers might do to you and your neighbors before they all kick the bucket, but I guarantee it will do the job... eventually. Like I said I've never tried it on a bees nest, so I have no idea what (if any) unintended consequences there may be.

You never open the front door or any windows?

The bees are coming in from cracks and holes in your flat that you may not have noticed yet.

Many moons ago we lived in a run down place for a few months, and there was a gaping hole in the corner of our bathroom... you couldn't miss it. The bathroom had one of those big bathtubs that stood on four legs, and it had no overflow drain if the water came up too high. Our apartment was on the third floor. There were other apartments on the second floor and the entire first floor was a restaurant. I decided we should find somewhere else to live before getting kicked out of there.

The house was built in 1884 so quite possibly the case.

Original post was made as a light hearted joke though, so you can all stop now 😛

Clearly they're super bumble bees that can fly through walls, duh.

Can't stop it now, you've let the genie out of his bottle and opened Pandoras box... that's where all those bees are really coming from.

And by the way, all bees (with the exception of drones) are female, so you've really done it this time mister!

This is a honey of a topic. I love it.

But what if the Genie gets into Pandora's Box and all of the bees get into the Lamp? 😲

Give the box and lamp to a neighbor, or give them to Goodwill, just get them out of your house and fast... or you'll be sorry.

Quickly there's no time!

You ever wonder what else may be lurking behind the walls of that old house?

Sleep well tonight...
