Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I got a cream at a ren faire last summer that they claim will ward off bees....for some reason, I use no detergent scents, no perfumes, and I attract bees like you would not believe....its in my blood I guess...anyway, it says Lavender, Musk and Patchouli are in it. I was always afraid to put it on, thinking it might attract more bees (lavender)....Does anyone know of a bee repellent? I know that cintronella really attracts bees and makes them a bit angry too. I have a huge wasp problem on my patio and want to burn something in my firepit and get rid of them...any ideas? Any ideas on what to dab on to keep them away from me?

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Maybe some Lemon Eucalyptus? It's a bigger component of my bug-off EO blend and I used to spray it around the canopy edges for outdoor shows and didn't have problems with wasps or bees. As far as I know it's not horribly expensive yet (but it's been awhile since I've had to buy it so don't bet on what I know) so it's worth a try.
