Seriously,

I just found out days ago they do poop. I had just cleaned my windshield in the garage, went in the house came back out a fresh round spots of yellow stuff on window. Traced it down to a big black carpenter bee that had got trapped when I closed the doors. Must have discharged on my nice cleaned windshield when flying back and forth along the light above the car.:angry

My house is surrounded by cherry and peach orchards and I fight that stuff all the time. I always thought it was excess pollen left behind after the bee landed on the car. It can be a bear to get off.



Nothing like a freshly detailed car to attract every bee and bug in the area. :mad:

I never knew those little yellow globs I ALWAYS get on my car when parked outside was bee crap. They seem a bit too big to be coming from bees. In any event, they do leave etch marks on your clear if left too long and will almost always leave a visible stain on lighter colored paint.
 
I am pretty sure in, at least in SoCal, that these yellow/orange dots are airplane fallout. I get them on the same locations when I park outside my house. I have seen it fall on my paint and no bees were around, but airplaces fall over my house all the time.

I'm going with the Bee Poop idea as I've lived next door to an airport and never seen the problem but since the weather got warmer and I started seeing bees, the stains/droppings have increased significantly.
 
I don't know if it's bee poop or not, but if I park under any sort of tree around here I'll end up with little hard spots on the car. I don't see any color in them and they're very small. If they've hardened, they'll usually pop right off with a soft fingernail, but I prefer QD or wash... Might be sap, might be bug poop...



I do know that last year - the Summer of the 17-year Cicadas - you could get quite wet if you spent any time under a buzzing tree (and go a little deaf at the same time). Lots of peeing going on, apparently (not to mention the sheer number of these things! - go splat! and crunch under foot, cars covered with them dead and alive).



foxtrapper - you growing pumpkins?
 
The clear droplets at are hard are definately tree poop (sap) but the bee poop is that golden yellow drop ranging in size between 1/16"-1/8" that has the consistancy of clay. If it's soft it smears, if it's hard it takes some scraping to get off.

I have one white car and the new LAX route does fly over my house. The airplane fallout is a yellow color, but its more of a mist falling ont the car. Its more of a sand ganular size that sticks on the car. Usually if left one long enough you have to clay it off or use a cleaner wax. The yellow stucff that is clay like and in small drops on that car that leave behind a stain on light color cars is bee poop. I also live next to a park and its my biggest problem.
