How to remove rows from MultiIndex Dataframe

I have pandas multi-index dataframe that like this. I need to remove rows where bnds equals to 1.0.

I’ve tried to do df_f.drop('1.0', level=bnds, axis=0, inplace=True) as per documentation, but getting error NameError: name ‘bnds’ is not defined

                                 Honolulu        time_bnds        Seattle
bnds    time            
1.0    2015-01-01 12:00:00      70.277412   2015-01-01 00:00:00   13.346752

2.0    2015-01-01 12:00:00      70.277412   2015-01-01 00:00:00   13.346752

Update: I’ve used quotes "bnds" as suggested, but got another error

>Solution :

Your issue is that you are passing '1.0' as string while your bnds column is obviously not of string type. Try running the following:

df_f.drop(1.0, level="bnds", axis=0, inplace=True)
