Bee Spray

My nephew is afraid of bees.  Extremely.  One day on Pinterest I saw a pin about "monster spray" to keep monsters out of your closet, etc.  It got me wondering if there was a recipe to keep bees away.  My 2 minutes of research told me it's been shown that bees don't like clove and sage.  So here's what I did:


I wrapped some whole cloves and some powdered sage in a tiny fabric satchel, dropped it into the dollar store squirt bottle and filled it with water.  Viola!  
((I'm sure you can deduce that this is not as great for actually keeping bees away as it is for a child's confidence and peace of mind. ))


Kid tested, mother and father approved.  The best part is, you just keep refilling with water once it runs out.
