Madison, WI. I am allergic to the stings and find that if they hover close...just a little blow in their diredtion will result in the bee moving-on! As a child I would put them in a large jar and study them before letting them go...this resulted in many stings! My fault. :) How can I attract more bumbles to my backyard? Madison, WI.
