Big Old Bees

[Enchanted Voyager]

Man the bees this weekend were everywhere. they even stopped me from riding Adventure Express. The park should really think about cutting back on those fern bushes and trees because those giant suckers are always nesting in them. Right by the festhaus and Adventure Express was the worst. I imagine The Beast was pretty bad also but we didn't go back by it Saturday

I've heard they can't sting you.

I don't know how true that is but I've had one land on me and there pretty heavy.

[TheKlockster]

Yeah - those things are harmless. Now - I saw WASPS over by the exit to the Train. SEVERAL of them. And they DO sting!

[BoddaH1994]

This has been a problem at the park for years. Bring your Off spray next time.

[Scooby_Doo]

Those were carpenter bees they are harmless unless you p*ss em off they live in trees,wooden posts etc. they were all over The Beast's station and que.

[Gordon Bombay]

I dont ever remember seeing so many of them around here, do they jsut come every so many seasons like the cicadas? F** **G cicadas, i hate those stupid things!

[PKI Foodguy]

Ah...the Cicadas weren't that bad

[Pirate of PKI]

Oh well, you don't have to worry about them for another 17 years or so.

[Legend Rider]

i would punch every bee in the face!

Yes, the trees by Adventure Express`s exit, over by Bubba Gumps, in front of the Cyber Cez attraction is notorious for thos giant bees during spring when the flowers on the trees are full of the nectar that attracts the bees. Most of them will dissappear (aka not as noticable) once the flowers on the trees leave.

dont worry Kings Island bribes the bees not to sting people, the only time they do is if Kings Island doesnt give them theyre daily honey

Being the lawn and garden guru that I am I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about with theese bees. they come out in early spring feed off the flowers and then become trouble for wooden structures they are known as borers and are as big of a pest as termites. Basically they will drill there way into what ever wood they can find leaving behind large amounts of saw dust and large holes. The best way to get rid of them is to use plumers puddy and fill in the holes that they have made but only do this at night as they are in their dormant stage.As far as personal protection use any product containing Deet (Cutter or Off) this will repell the away from you. And just a friendly heads up don't wear any sweet smelling cologne as this will attract them to you I've never herd of them stinging they are more of a pest than anything.
