how do i redo my flower beds?

I have a long, narrow flower bed along the front of my house. it has a bunch of rocks, wood chips, weeds, remnants of bushes/plants that i dug up, and dirt. all i want in the end product is white landscape rocks with larger rocks scattered here and there, the two remaining bushes that are there, and maybe a couple decorations. I hate bees and that’s why i’m getting rid of all the flowers and junk. plus it looks a mess right now. i’m going to put those nice bricks along the flower bed so it’ll look real nice. suggestions? methods? precautions? objections?

Can someone help me get rid of some drone wood bees in my back yard?

They are big, black and yellow and like to eat (burrow) in the wood and right now are attacking my yard barn. We have tried chemicals and home remedies. I know they don’t sting but they scare the children.

how do you stop the big bees (carpenter or wood bees) from using my wind chime as a nest?

I’m not moving my chime, they didn’t use it last year, so I was there first!

Bumble Bees!!! Any suggestions on how to rid my porch of them?

I had my side porch screened in – allergic to bees – but still getting bumble bees!! They aren’t boring thru the wood and there ain’t no other way to get in but the pesky buggers are still getting in.

A friend at work says there is something you can “paint” over the wood and they can’t get near it. Does anyone know what this might be.
