There's a big ass bee hive in my back yard. Should I..?

[jryan21]

Dont burn it if you got trees around. I almost set my neighborhood on fire by burning a bee hive with a little gasoline. That shit went up in high flames and the flames were so high they went up a large pine tree. I almost shit my pants on the spot.

Yes, intentional fire with gasoline usually ends badly. When I was a kid we put some gasoline in someone's pumpkin on Halloween. It was in their yard in the middle of the night, and when it burned, it didn't look much more spectacular than it did when they just had the candle in there, so this dumbass thought it a good idea to stomp on it. Long story short, when the cops asked me what I was doing there, I told them I heard him screaming and I ran over there to try to put his foot out...

Just sell your house and move bro.

Hire Skrillex to play a backyard gig. Bees love Skrillex.

shoot the 22.

 

[dmnEPC]

We're definitely talking hundreds here. I took this with a 55x200 lens and I wasn't about to get any closer than 50 feet.

Tried the .22 from about 150 feet. Only caused a stir and they went back to business as usual. I'm just gonna let them chill and hope they're gone in the AM before my gardener gets here.

How is it that you choose .22 out of all the options? I hope them bees sting the shit out of you. They are not leaving anytime soon. Just please dont allow your stupidity to get your family or gardener stung. You really need to call in a professional and spend the $100 and get it done properly.

A .22? Yes it would be prudent to try to kill a flock of birds with a sling shot.

 

[hehejo]

Just remembered. You can kill wasps with gasoline, just pour it into their hive and they will die from the gases (you don't have to light it). Not sure if it works with bees though.

call ur nearest spray specialist guys if smoke thing did work

Why don't you try picking up a stick and go near the hive, poke it and run away like hell

Waiting for Ly2's opinion on Africanized bees

 

[efeezy]

Well they didn't go anywhere overnight. The gardener showed up this morning and doesn't think they're Africanized, so he wasn't too worried about it. I'm not messing with them anymore and if they don't get the hell out of there today, I'll get a bee keeper to come in deal with it. I guess they don't go anywhere unless the queen leaves. So if that bitch wants to say on the tree, 1000 bees are staying with her.

Oh and I don't live in the sticks, so I couldn't really shoot them with anything bigger than a .22 without having the cops show up. I didn't honestly think the .22 would do anything, but it was fun nonetheless.

they are clearly americanized

 

[efeezy]

Well they finally left in a massive swarm about 2 hours ago. Looks like they headed toward my neighbors back yard, but I can't be certain where they ended up. Just happy they've moved on and nobody got stung. (and I didn't have to call a beekeeper to take them away). All's good in the hood again.

I'm glad to bee rid of them.

Weak bro. Very weak.

Easiest way to kill bees is to add some dish detergent (like liquid Dawn) to Mountain Dew or an equivalent sugar filled bright colored soda. Place in a large container near the nest, as the fuckers fly away they will not be able to resist and go in for a drink, at which time they will screw themselves. Toxic for them to drink and I believe they will coat themselves with it, and the dish detergent will coat their wings and not allow them to fly away. So they'll either drown or be poisoned to death. Win-Win.

Makes me wonder what would happen if you just hosed them down with such a mixture, it'd be pretty awesome.

Oh c'mon. You know you lol'd at that one.

Sure, now you show up with the kick ass ideas, after they're long gone. I like your theory on that though. Will try next time they show up.
