I have one of the King Bees that was a shelf diver no matter how many times I adjusted his posture w/ the hair dyer. I finally just made a little thread noose and tethered the sucker with the thread and a thumbtack in the wall. (He is big enough that the thumbtack is hidden.)

If you were truly dedicated, you'd rip out that old gwb a re-rock your wall so the thumbtack would stick :)
