Todd,

We have a red plastic cup and an envelope. My husband catches the bugs in the
house in the cup and slides the envelope under the cup and releases them back
outdoors. I catch bees in the house by the wing and liberate them to the
outdoors! I stop watering plants that have bees on them. Right now, I have
Foxglove in bloom and the hummers and bees love them. I have several over 7 feet
tall!
