The Jeep Grand Cherokee I am detailing today was covered with "bee poop"...the small globs of yelllow that you find on the paintwork and windows. The owner of the Jeep spent Sunday afternoon at her favorite lawn and garden center buying annuals for her garden, bees pollinate flowers, bee poop is a byproduct of pollination!
I detailed the vehicle last October and had multiple coats of wax on the finish ... it was still beading nicely whern I washed it this morning, and 98% of the "bee poop" came right off...the other 2% was removed with clay.
I have to get myself a digicam and start posting pics!

That`s exactly why I always spray my flowers and flowering plants with Immodium A/D!

To All,
I have small squiggly burn mark from bee poop on my hood for years now. So I would highly recommend getting if off the paint as soon as you see it. I don`t know what`s in bee poop to make it so nasty but it is.

Usually that yellow stuff is airplane fallout, but I could be wrong.

A month or so ago it was some guy who had spiders sh#tting all over his car, now its bees.
I can honestly say, I`ve never identified insect sh#t of any type on my car.
Not even fly specs? :confused:
You must not have white paint.

i think that he just means pollen, bees (and light breezes) leave pollen on cars i guess you can call it bee poop :)

Agh!! i too am suffering from this plague. Does the bee poop end with the ending of pollen or does it keep going all summer??

If it`s really bee poop, it would be around for as long as the bees are around, so it wouldn`t go away until late fall.
I have a hard time believing that anyone would have a noticeable accumulation of bee poop on a car. I rarely see any bees, wasps, yellowjackets, etc on my car.

its only two or three small round spots a day but sure enough if it sits in the sun for more than an hour it produces etching...

It has been pretty bad here this spring as well. 5 cool (but not super cold) and wet winters in a row mean a plethora of bugs...which also means bug guts on the front of cars. You should have seen the F-250 I washed this morning. He tipped me $15 because the front end was just caked in dead bugs.
