Any direct contact with a hydrocarbon solvent is lethal to bees, wasps and their ilk. In Oklahoma, we had cicada killers that were about two inches long. They had my attention. They would build a nest in the ground immediately adjacent to the edge of a sidewalk. As they flew in with a dead cicada in their clutches, they would aim straight for their hold in the ground. As they landed, I would race up behind them with about a half a cup of paint thinner and douse them with it before they got down the hole. Instantly fatal. Interesting thing was that they would curl up as they died, and their stinger would protrude. Man, that was a long stinger.
