Ive never seen it as bad as this year!it must of took me an extra 30 mins to clean my work today due to the extra scrubbing required.....
I'll take a few pics tomorrow of the work I'm cleaning this week(estate work that back onto farmers fields)...they are always pretty bad this time of year but nothing as bad as this!literally EVERY WINDOW and frame is covered in bee poo splattered everywhere.thank god I'm using hot water!
On the plus side the bee population must be doing well where I work! ::)roll ;D

Hot water sounds cr@p if it’s taking ages to get bee poo off 😂
Iv noticed a lot more of the stuff on my customers windows too…

Are you sure it’s not fly poo ?? That’s black ,you don’t usually get bee poo in that quantity.

It’s a record year for bee poo apparently 🐝 💩
-
Must be near a hive(s).
-
You sure it’s not artillery fungus? Google it, it’s the most common ‘spot’ we get on the glass/frames.

First pics are windows set back....nightmare to clean and the other pic is a customers car..... ::)roll
-
I always find this on skylights, bee poo or other insect poo.
-
these are mainly 4 weekly jobs too...absolutely filthy!
all my customers are getting their moneys worth this week!some jobs were like a first clean! ::)roll ;D

That looks an absolute nightmare. My cold water would barely touch that.

It's a nightmare, we have one street in particular where there's a family that produces and sells honey. It's all over the windows we clean not much fun this time of the year. Pre-spray with degreaser and scrape wish we had hot!

I took on a job like that a couple of years ago. She told me before i started the back of the house was always covered in yellow spots. It looked exactly like that windscreen (the house backed onto a field). I took ages on the first clean to scrub it all off it was a real pain to shift. When i turned up for the second clean it looked exactly the same so i binned it off. Ive never seen another house like it. Unfortunately i think you will be having the same fun next visit :D

I don’t think that’s bee poo to cover that vehicle like that it would need a swarm of bees , we get a bit of it but nothing as bad as that and it’s generally flies .

Of course it is...there's bees/hornets nest everywhere here this year...lots of fly poop too!
I've never ever seen it so bad...

Hot water does help but I still need to scrub and rinse the glass/frames a few times

Most of our work is semi rural and we arnt seeing any more bees etc than normal ? You vary rarely see a bee on a glass window , but you will see a lot of flies Ime still convinced it fly poo not bees , but agree it’s a pain to get it all off .

Quicker to trad them when the windows are that bad, better finish too.
-
I have a couple like this out your way Daz, all of which back into fields. Very much doubt it’s bees, more likely flies off the field. Either way it’s a pain in the arse and definately worse this year for whatever reason.
Probably due to whichever crops are planted this year.

todays work wasnt as bad but this afternoon i was crawling with corn flies!all in my hair and face and all over the frames and glass! >:( ;D...
to be honest im glad im finished this week until monday!

Does it? It helps sometimes but not always.
