Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 THIS IS DEVESTATING ON HOW STUPID!!!!!!!!! THIS PERSON CAN BE, (see pictures below) WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF BEES AND ALL A PERSON HAS TO DO IS NOTIFY A BEE KEEPER ORGANISATION IN THERE AREA TO MOVE THE BEES AWAY AND TRANSPORT THEM TO ANOTHER LOCATION, THEY WILL GLADLY DO IT, WHAT A WASTE OF LIVE AND RESOURSES JUST BECAUSE SOME ONE IS THAT STUPID!!!!_________________________Honey Bee Swarm Removal Throughout the U.S.http://www.ebeehoney.com/swarmremovalmap.htmlTo find local beekeepers in your area that will remove bee swarms, simply click on the state in which you are located (map located below). Please let the beekeeper know where the swarm is located, how long you've noticed the bee swarm and the approximate size of the bee swarm. Also, do not spray the bees or call an exterminator as beekeepers will not want to remove any honey bees that have been chemically sprayed! Call the beekeeper first!

"A pollination crisis is flaring," say Stephen Buchman and Gary Nabhan. "It threatens rare, endangered plants as well as the common ones that keep people clothed and fed. At risk is every plant crop that depends on pollination for reproduction: one in three mouthfuls of the food people eat," they report in The Sciences. The decline of a single species, even one as important as the honey bee, would not usually have such far- reaching effects, but with the crisis in biodiversity, the loss of even one keystone species can bring down several others. In the past many different animals pollinated plants, including mosquitos, butterflies, flying foxes, bats, and more than 40,000 native species of bees. As more and more development projects disrupted native habitats, specialized pollinators were driven to extinction. The honey bee filled in for a time, pollinating a wide range of plant species, but now even the honey bee is at risk. The combination of killer bees and tracheal mites is ravaging feral honey bee populations, destroying up to 85 percent of hives in some parts of the country. The costs to beekeepers are trivial compared to the price that consumers may pay for the overall losses to agriculture. "In one region of the U.S. the pollinators are known for only one of every fifteen endangered plants," Buchman and Nabhan warn. "Without such knowledge, of course, a plant's primary means of propagation could disappear before anyone could lift a finger to preserve it." While it remains difficult to measure how much lost pollinators cost an economy, one Canadian study put the price at $1.25 billion annually, estimating that seven of the sixty agricultural crops critical to the North American economy would be lost if the wild insects that pollinate them became extinct. "Pollinators are the unseen engines driving an ecosystem," say Buchman and Nabhan. "They couple plant to plant and plant to animal, spinning the verdant world through endless cycles and feedback loops, providing fuel and fuses and safety valves. Unless we provide a seat belt for the pollinators, we may drive ourselves into a cul-de- sac."

So I'm using my BBQ this weekend... so I thought I'd clean it up.. I have noticed there are bees coming from under the cover so I thought I 'd kill them, obviously...so heres the BBQ in questionnow 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 maneuvered under the cover of darkness...so then i release the weapon of buzz destruction..OMG! the sound from under the cover was incredible!!! You could hear it 3m away easy...Then I ran like the clappers....coming back few mins later to see the death toll...was at least 20mm deep mass graveI continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when i noticed some fattly looking substance on the top of th 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 NOTEwe 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!
