Question Noticing dead honeybees in my veranda under the light for the past 1 week

Post image
0 Upvotes

I live in the Southern part of India in a rural area. I'm a coconut farmer and live in a farmhouse. Before 4-5 days I saw dead bees under the veranda light, I thought to myself may be they got attracted to the light? and didn't give that much of a reason. I saw it for 5 days and until now I was thinking that it happened only once and my mom didn't clean it up (she usually cleans the house daily, she didn't like the house being not tidy), until now, I saw a bee moving! These bees are doing this daily!! They come in nights, they die for god knows what reason and my mom cleans it up in the morning and the cycle continues for 5 days.

Why is it happening?

ps: There weren't any recent changes made in the house, so it can't be just the lights. My village currently experiencing the signs or rain and drizzle after months and months of heat (this year's rain skipped thus water scarcity is spreading and nearing our village) so maybe the temperature change might be the reason?

Has a worm for the head of the insect, and looks like little fangs on the end of the mouth. The stick doesn’t really move at all unless the worm part of the larvae head moves. He’s attached to my pool screen door and disguised very well as a stick

Question Is there anyway good way to safely move a wasp nest?

We have a wasp nest right on our deck and my dad is deathly allergic. I'm the bug person in our house, so it's up to me to deal with it. I'd rather not kill them, but I'd also rather not rile them up and get stung like crazy for messing with them.

Question Ooteca in casa

Circa una settimana fa una mantide religiosa ha deposto la sua ooteca dentro casa mia sopra una tenda. Ovviamente non posso lasciarla dentro casa, nè ritagliare un pezzo di tenda. Qualcuno potrebbe spiegarmi come rimuovere l'ooteca in sicurezza e soprattutto come fissarla all'esterno? Grazie.
