You might want to change your title to reflect that it's wasps and hornets. Not many people are going to try to help you get rid of bees. These are too precious and they're two endangered at the moment for anybody to help you get rid of them.
Maybe take pictures of the pest and question. That way we can make sure that they are indeed pests and not something like a bee or honey bee or bumblebee.

By liability I mean if any mistakes are made they absorb that liability of mistakes.
They will 100% be responsible if they screw up your tax returns, and that costs you money.
Add proven by the fact she was able to sue. You don't have to sign your rights away. And I would suggest that if any one of them does ask you to sign away their mistakes as a rate you go find another accounting.
My accountant here and the one that I've had previously they've always guaranteed their work.

I suggest finding a local accountant and just paying the $80-$150 to have them absorb all the liability.
They will tell you exactly what you need and have the best access to it all.

Have you tried approaching your mother recently and asking her to elaborate more on what it was exactly that was causing this fear and discomfort?
Do you think that if you approached it with a more scientific nature, and less eye rolling internally that she would open up more and be more receptive to sharing with her experiences?
Would framing it in a sense of trying to preserve historical accuracy about the state and the growth from which it's come from help her open up and be willing to divulge some of the things that she may have gone through and and noticed and perceived with her perspective?
You can let her know there's at least one if not hundreds or thousands of people just waiting by their screens to see any type of accountability or accounting or reckoning of the past of the state that we all know and love not to mention just the world we live in.

Especially at a time where men were teaching women to be weak and subservient and that they have to be this ideological pure thing. Whereas men historically have been taught they should act almost opposite of that. They need to be assertive borderline aggressive, they have to take what they want, that they're out there to be the driving force. Especially if this was in the '60s and it was a white dominated culture.
And if this was in a rougher area, or lower income area The likelihood of that aggression and that domineering personality being less cultured and more instinctive and impulsive goes up exorbitantly.
It's why statistically lower income neighborhoods and communities have higher crime rates than more affluent communities. Low income communities have less access to higher education, less access to tools that would teach them interpersonal and communicational skills.
So you have a higher rate of crime, a riot higher rate of violence, a higher rate of aggressiveness. That could be scary to a teenage person Male or female. especially if they're not accustomed to that situation if they were raised in a kinder home. Or gentler home. Or one that just had a different outlook and perception on life.
This is all conjecture. I wasn't alive in the '60s. I have no first-hand experience with this. I myself am a white male. This is just speculation and a thought experiment based on communication and my experiences with just people and life in general.

Is your family people of color? Imagine being a person of color in the 1960s? If not it could be just the fact that even if it wasn't a racial thing it was definitely a man dominated world.
Imagine being a young woman, walking into an establishment that is primarily congregated with males. You have no protections, you have no rights, there's a strong chance that those men are going to harass you, be pushy, a bunch of younger dudes trying to impress each other.
Back then sensibilities were different, children were raised differently especially women. And so the sensibilities that were instilled in the general population at the time might put this exaggerated sense of expectations as to how people are supposed to be. And so being young and impressible and walking into an establishment and a situation that is so far outside of that teaching in that comfort is also going to be extremely scary.

Because we have systematically degraded the trades until no one is now left to go into them and there is nowhere to learn them.
Over the last 30-50 years we have taught the children of the US that people who work in trades are dumb, backwards, castoffs of society. Its been framed as an unrefined uncultured way to succeed. People tried to make it seem that it was low pay and little to gain.
Many mid educational institutions (mid and high schools) geared towards trades have been phased out and shut down.
With the exception a few around the state and even less in other states. When I moved to CA from CT there were none here at all.

If the car is otherwise in decent running shape. Then I wouldn't abandon it, I would continue to ask every single person who came within my view to help me change a tire.

So I just called your local southington AutoZone. The way that the policy is is you buy the tool you can use it and then you're returning get your money back. That's obviously not going to work for you.
They also don't loan out Jack's, and they don't loan out anything to do with the lug nuts. So no lug wrenches or anything like that.
I asked them if they had any better suggestions, they didn't have any period at this point I'm kind of stuck. I'm surprised that nobody has a jack or a basic lug wrench that can work for you.
Sorry but I'm kind of at a loss for suggestions at this point. If I was local I'd help you out I'm in California sorry.

They wanted to charge you or for you to put down a deposit.
I understand you don't have the money for either one. But there's a significant difference between the two.
There's no other AutoZone's within walking distance, there's no pep Boys, there's no O'Reilly's?

Most automotive stores like AutoZone, or pep Boys etc will let you use their tools for free.

My USB c ones are pretty solid still. I've only had one controller fail after a few years. (Older micro usb one) But I got a little rough with it. So it's my fault.

No
Batteries will eventually stop charging.
The ear pads will wear out.
The plastic will become brittle and crack
The Bluetooth will eventually become obsolete and stop communicating with devices.
3-7 years of life would be my guess.
That being said they are phenomenal headphones. I have the MX3s. And my dad just got the MX-5s. They are such lovely devices to use. He's replacing a pair of Bose headphones that I find to be trash.

The post office is probably the most common place to go to get your passport. That's where I've gotten mine twice and my entire family of four have gotten theirs.
You take everything with you your form that you've had printed out and filled in, your passport photo, your proof of residency documentation, your other paperwork that is being required.
You don't pay online. You take everything that you need into a facility you give them what you printed out along with your picture and any other documentation that you might need. You pay then.
Check, card, or money order. Nothing that can be charged back as far as I'm aware.
To pay for the application and special services such as expediting your application:
Submit a check (personal, certified, cashier's, traveler's) or money order payable to "U.S. Department of State" Credit and debit cards are not accepted. Do not cancel your check or money order after you have applied. The acceptance facility will charge a separate $35 fee:
Money orders at all locations, payable as instructed by the facility
Personal checks and cash (exact change only) at some locations
Credit cards at U.S. postal facilities and some other locations. Note: the facility may add a surcharge to cover the cost of a credit card transaction.
Check with your acceptance facility to learn what form of payment they will accept before you apply.
If you're over at the age of 16 when you got your first passport then yes you need to do a renewal. You will bring in your old passport turn that in and they'll send you a new one.

You could always just say that you lost your license if you don't want to turn it in. That way you get to keep it. I'm the opposite of you I move from Connecticut to California I moved back in 2001. I still have my old CT ID.
