I received an email with these pictures and statements.
These are honey bees and if handled properly, they can be removed without a mass genocide of one of the most important links in the food chain.
I feel that people are not educated enough about our environment, that they make very bad decisions and then think that it is perfectly okay. Bees are extrememly important to the pollination of flowering plants, including the nuts, fruits, and vegetables that we eat every day. If one were to come upon a hive like this, you should contact a beekeeper and they would then remove the queen into a wooden bee box and the others would follow, once in the box, the bees would be transported to a farm to help pollinate crops and their honey would be collected for sale to you and me.

" I knew there were bees coming from under the cover and knew they would need to be killed.
Now I know these bombs aren't for bees, 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 underthe cover of darkness... so then I release the weapon of buzz destruction. OMG! the sound from under the cover was incredible!!! Then I ran like crazy....
Coming back few min's later to see the death toll.
"I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when I noticedsome fatty looking substance on the top of the side shelf thing.... Bit weird. I always clean it before I put it away for winter and no way was therefat there before, so I began to wonder...
NO... it can't be, could it?
I slowly removed the rest of the cover only to find this …
Can you imagine what would have happened if Ihad just whipped the cover off?"
