Bees Invasion
|
Flannel Blob was visiting his family in Florida for the holidays when he noticed a swarm of honeybees congregrating on the swingset of his sister’s house. The neighbours called a bee removal company but a hefty fee was to be imposed and nobody wanted to spend money on it. Finally Blob had this fine idea of igniting fire right under the bees resulting in a total carnage of roasted bees! |

Couldn’t they just stick smoke under the hive to make them go away? Sheesh, lots of deaths.

I thought that was kinda cruel. Wonder if they feel the same way if someone just burned off their whole family…..the bees didn’t even do anything to them!~

Yes but some bees are killers, i dont know where this was shot but in america bees can and will kill.

Yes we in florida have bees that can attack so bad that it will kill a grown man. Particularly when they are in such dense population.

Learn to identify different bees. Killer bees would not have let this guy get so close.
Remember without bees there will be no FOOD.

Those poor things! Could had just called a bee keeper or animal control and they will safely get rid of it.
p.s. : A single hive takes about 8 months to create a bottle of honey (about 2 liter)

You know if all bee’s died, mankind would be dead in four years. We need them
I think this was a bit cruel really

This is revolting. Who thinks it’s fun to kill living things that we rely on? Honeybees pollinate a third of the food we eat, mostly the healthy stuff - fruits and vegetables. Without them, we’d have to rely on wheat and corn. I bet if they did a little more research online, they could have found a beekeeper who would have been happy to give these guys a home.

Flannel Bob you rock. Wish I could do this, but for the umpteenth time they have invaded the second story eave of my house and I can’t set fire to my house. It is such a nuisance and so time consuming but the only way to do it is to spray them every afternoon for a week or more as the workers return to the hive. The good news is, after my husband sealed every available entry point, they went up underneath the stucco from the ground! We have called beekeepers, exterminators and they all say the same thing, we cannot do it, spray them yourself, it is cheaper. At least we do not have to climb on an extension ladder this time. Yea, yea, yea I know all about the pollenation issue, my father was a farmer.

Flannel Bob, this is expecially for you (assuming you possess enough brain cells to use a computer, although I have my doubts)…
You are a complete idiot, not much different from a lobotomised zombie walking around saying “Duh, there some bees…me thinks me will make fire & burn them”…
How would you feel if I lighted a fire under your house? Fucking idiot…you will see, there will be some shit happen in your life & then you can think back to when you burnt a whole colony of bees & realise that what goes around, comes around…retard!

Wow people seem to get pretty worked up over insects these days.
And just for the people saying that this was cruel and we need bees to survive, this was one very very small number of bees that died here. And you don’t know if they were being harmless or threatening before they decided to do this. Also the problem with killer bees is that there is absolutely NO way to tell them apart from regular bees until they attack in force and kill someone.
And yes I know that “if everyone went around setting fire to bee’s they’d all be dead by now” but just how often do you see people doing this? This is a first for me so I imagine the worlds bee supply is pretty safe

What a moron! Looks like he had a lot of “fun” killing these insects.
If he had left the bees alone they would have moved on within a couple of hours. A swarm like this is simply resting before continuing to a new home. Also, a swarm such as this one is not dangerous if it is left alone. The bees are intent upon being as close to the queen.
For the “experts” out there, these bees may have been feral, but they were common honey bees. Bees are actually quite beautiful, and their colonies are complex and fascinating should you bother to learn a little about them. Bees are NOT aggressive, stinging only when they feel threatened.
Bee colonies around the globe are under threat due to disease, and microwave communications towers are causing domestic colonies to die out (due to interference with the bee’s navigation systems. They get lost and cannot find their hive again). So the world’s “bee supply” is actually far from safe. Bees are essential to our systems of agriculture, so if the bees die out (and it is possible that we may see this happen) the human race will suffer terribly as a result.
The simplest, safest solution to having a swarm of bees arrive in your yard is to leave them alone and see if they move on. If they don’t move you should contact a beekeeper or apiary club, as someone may want to collect the swarm. Some pest controllers specialise in capturing swarms such as these. If you find you have a colony living in your wall, chimney etc there are people who specialise in dealing with this problem. I would not reccommend spraying the bees with fly spray unless you want to get stung. Remember that if you attack bees, they will defend themselves (and you will deserve what you get!).
