Think twice before you decide to kill honeybees. First of all, honeybees are vital to our food supply. Roughly 30% of the food you eat has been pollinated by honeybees. If you have been following the news lately, you are probably aware of the perils the honeybee is facing with Colony Collapse Disorder and the effects it can cause to our food supply.
Secondly, think about the health of your family and the damage to your house. Pesticides sprayed into the walls of the house may kill the bees quickly, but you, your family, and your pets will be exposed for many years to come. There have been many studies that show the damage pesticides cause to humans and the environment. Also don't underestimate the damage that can be done to the structure of your home from the rotting and decay of 10s of thousands of bees and many pounds of honey.
So thoroughly think through your actions before deciding to exterminate honeybees.

Tributyltin (also known as TBT), a ubiquitous pollutant that has a potent effect on gene activity, could be promoting obesity, according to an article in the December issue of BioScience, the journal of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. The chemical is used in antifouling paints for boats, as a wood and textile preservative, and as a pesticide on high-value food crops, among many other applications.
