Roy, I  wonder, does that "Bounce" also keep away Honey
Bees? What ever gave you that idea anyway? Observation?
 
I was wondering if the stuff would be any good at keeping
yellow jackets away from trying to rob hives in the fall? (Like
they try to do around here) They buzz about looking for
cracks or anyplace they can slip in! It's tough trying to hit
each one of those thieves over the head one at a time!
