While I sympathise with the boy and his bees, I can't help wondering why they felt the need to keep industrial-strength wasp killer in the house .... sometimes what goes around comes around.
It may be because wasps can be a problem around bees. Maybe a bee keeper could clarify?

Can insecticides really be that selective? Many of us abstain from using insecticides because we don't want to harm the helpful insects.
I don't think bee keepers would use a wasp killer willy-nilly so presumably they know what they are doing. Would like to hear from a bee keeper if any are around

@josusa47 I don't think they can as far as I remember most of the fly, wasp, insect sprays contain a chemical that interferes with there nervous system and renders them unable to fly and presumably stops them breathing bit like a nerve gas on humans, not the most pleasant way to die.
