This came from a friend of my sister’s. She had forwarded it in a Word doc and that was just awkward so I’m posting it here. I haven’t edited any of the text, so it’s in first-person voice, but that’s not me.
So I’m using my bbq this weekend… so I thought I’ll clean it up..I know there are bees coming from under the cover so I thought I’d kill them, obviously…so heres the BBQ in question
Now I know these bombs aren’t for bees and that but I thought I’ll suffocate/smoke them out.
So here is the weapon of choice and delivery system.
I thought I was pretty smart hehehe designed to be easily manoevered under the cover of darkness… so then I release the weapon of buzz destruction.. The sound from under the cover was incredible!!! You could hear it 12′ away easy… Then I ran like heck….
Coming back few mins later to see the death toll…
Was at least 2″deep mass grave
I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when I noticed some fatty looking substance on the top of the side shelf thing…. Bit weird.. I clean it before I put it away for winter and no way was there fat there so I begun to wonder……
NO….. it can’t be could it?
I slowly removed the rest of the cover only to find the HQ.
MORE PICS!
AND ON ANOTHER NOTE
We think the queen flew away…. either that or a small child has wings and has been living in the hive coz that thing was huge!
Too bad the honey and comb are unusable due to chemicals and the grill was saturated in chemicals as well.
Yeah, in truth that was kinda dumb. Still cool to look at, though.
If it had been MY BBQ, I would have contacted trained/experienced beekeepers to come and humanely capture the bees, for transfer to an apiary, then I would have harvested some fresh honey from those combs.
Bees are really our FRIENDS, and they do many wonderfully good things for mankind.
It is wrong to kill them.
We must do what we can to protect the honeybee.

STOP TAKING OUR HONEY YOU ARSEHOLE!!!
WE WORK VERY HARD TO THROW UP ALL THAT STUFF!!!
Scorpio7, stfu, they are bee’s ffs.
Well, let’s look at it like this: It’s a creature that has set up ‘shop’ on some of my property, and, when confronted about it, becomes violent. Now, you can give me all sorts of lectures about ‘They’re just frightened’, or whatever. But, if there was a homeless person sitting on my grill, who tried to stab me when I told him to scram? I’d gas him, too.
Although you prolly didn’t know but, yeah a bee keeper would have come for free and sorted it out for you. Right now in California we are experiencing sudden hive death. It mysteriously kills the entire hive. This has really bad consequences for an agricultural state as bees do most of the pollinating.
Thanks for the “back-up,” Mapes.
When there are no more bees on this planet, human life will also end, eventually.
That statement could have been shortened to ‘Human life will end, eventually.’
I have a sneaking suspicion it’s not going to be the bees that do us in.
You’re right, Ash.
When all human life ends on Planet Earth, it will probably be because of something we did to ourselves.
As Pogo once said, “We have met the enemy… and he is us.”

Another clueless Idiot!
Those VER IMPORTANT Bees could have been relocated and survived another day to pollenate the trees, flowers, vegetables.. pretty much EVERYTHING we eat and breath!
Nice job you IDIOT! next time you want to cook your pathetic little hotdog take a Fing look around you
and contemplate how that food, air, and everything flowering and green around you got there…. certainly not any of your doings!.. MAN!!.. I can’t stand ignorant people!!
Calm down Paco, it’s just cool looking pictures from an Internet chain letter email.
I agree with shawn B. Killing a hive is pathetically ignorant thing to do. Duhh look at da mean bugs I think I will kill um cuz day might sting me. To busy gaming on your computer and watching SciFy to experience nature or to know that 80% of all the bees in the US have mysteriously died. Thanks for contributing to their demise Jackass!
your and idiot lady, your problably illiterate and lazy and don’t have a hoot of sense outside of your hum-drum suburb trak housing or trailor.
Amazing that I keep getting retarded replies to this post. It’s just some cool-looking pictures, people, the “story” has nothing to do with anything and are from some chain-letter email someone passed to me.
Ok in defense of the “killer” she had no idea the mass quanity of bees she would be killing or she probably would have taken other steps. Saving the bees is a wonderful thing. But there is no way she could have known about the hive w/o being “eaten alive” Even though we all believe in the good cause we have all killed “a” bee at some point in our life and she just thought she was gonna kill a few to protect her family.
How truly sad. If you were uninformed, you may think the hive was a threat to you. But as soon as you lifted the cover, you would have been more startled than the bees and escaped without a sting. I am a beekeeper and have experienced a similar hive built in a compost bin.
If anyone ever encounters something like this, just call Animal Services or the Police. They will direct you to a bee keeper who will come and remove the hive for free. That is a very easy hive to remove. And they will probably give you a free jar of honey.
Honeybees are vital to our agricultural system. If ya like your fruits and veggies, be kind to them.
Hear, Hear, Tina!
Good post!
you don’t kill them stupid!!!!!!! we need them for different purposes. Get someone to come and take them away(smoke them)
If everyone like you killed them we would have no flowers, gardens ect!!!!!
I swear you people can’t read. They weren’t my bees, I just posted the pictures someone send in a random email. *sigh*
I believe you, halr9000.
What insanity! this miserable little toad slaughters bees that are desperately needed foir the world to survive.
All you had to do was call your local beekeeping association. What a damn fool!
When folks are SCARED, they seldom think rationally.
Your answer to the problem is the correct and rational solution, of course.
