My Honeysuckle Bush…My dilemma

I have this honeysuckle in my back yard.  I love the smell and how beautiful they are in the summer!  So, Saturday, my neighbor informed me it’s filled with bees, wasps and any other stinging insect you can think of…not to mention it’s probably a haven for snakes and critters!  All of which scare me!  AND on top of that, my family is allergic to bees and wasps!

Needless to say, I am going to begin the huge task of removing this thing!  Take a peek at this monstrosity!

I got to thinking, since I don’t have a saw, or anything to trim it with, i just may have to get someone to do it.  I actually like doing yard work so I just may gather a few neighbors and chop this bee collector down.

I do love the smell of honeysuckle though.  Maybe I can just cut it back smaller so it’s not as infested with critters and insects!

I don’t know, any suggestions?
