Bees on mirror are closer than they appear!

[Pardus]

My neighbor's car has attracted quite a few friends.

 

[Saint Nick]

The only way to be sure is to...

 

[weadjust]

Poke em with a stick.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Looks like it's time to go thru a car wash.

 

[Crono]

I think this may be the one instance where it is appropriate to throw a Molotov cocktail at a car.

 

[busydude]

Catch the queen bee and the rest will go away.

 

[Evadman]

Quick, call Dr. Pizza!

 

[vi edit]

Find the queen, enslave her, and get your own honey. It's the Dr. Pizza way!

That site is blocked from here, I assume they're honeybees. But, you can simply get a cardboard box big enough to hold all of them, brush them off with a stick or something, so that most of them fall into the box. A lot of them will fly all over the place, but they're not looking for something to sting, they're zeroing back in on the queen's scent. They'll all eventually land back in the box (provided the queen falls in there.) Just move the box to some place quiet and they'll all fly away to a new home within about 72 hours - once they find a nice new home.

Honeybees are very valuable to the ecosystem - killing them seems foolish, since they generally won't harm anyone. If you look on Craigslist, there's bound to be someone looking for honeybee swarms who would be thrilled to take them away. (You'll also find people who will chuckle to themselves while charging you to take them off your hands; meanwhile, they're secretly thinking, "wow, if he offered to sell them to me for $10, I'd have done it."

They look like honeybees, but then again they could also be African killer bees.

This advice is probably useful. However, a counter-proposal: fuck bees. Light that shit on fire from afar. Your neighbor will thank you. After the lawsuit of course.

 

[Anubis]

Oh the beemanity!

 

[Crono]

Oh the beemanity!

 

[Jeff7]

See if you can find a local beekeeper who wants the swarm; don't kill them.

Honeybees are one of the few types of stinging insect that aren't filled with a seething, raging appetite to inflict pain upon anything that wanders by.

 

[tcG]

+1 for relocation.

Fortunately not to that extent, but the mirrors on our cars parked in the driveway get yellow jacket wasp nests in them...fucking cocksuckers...the can be "just a bit aggressive" when disturbed...so, I keep a can of this in the garage for quick access:

I don't disturb the honeybees around the house or in the garden...even though I'm allergic to the stings, I actually encourage them in the garden...but yellow jacket wasps can all die in a fire. (or a stream of toxic poisons)

 

[SirStev0]

Time to pursue Apisculture.
I hear there are fuck loads of money in it.
I want to get into it.

Brakleen works so much better...

You make it sound so easy.


Reality:

AHAHHAHHAHAHAHA OUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHH *runs with thousand of bees swarming*

Some people have a special touch though. My grandpa is like that. He can grab a whole hornets nest out of a tree with his bare hand and not get stung. I don't know how he does it.

And it will even take off the paint on your car.

Eh, not really. Only if you leave it on there too long.

I like to use some water and dish soap in a squirt bottle. Gums up their wings so they can't fly, then you can dispense physical death with extreme prejudice.

It even works if they're swarming towards you, I once hit like 5+ mud daubers with a couple misty sprays, they dropped like rocks and I smashed them with a fly swatter.

I had a huge swarm of them nesting in my palm tree out in my front yard overnight about a year ago. My neighbor across the street was freaking out, he's Vietnamese, and asked me what I was going to do about it. I said, "I'm not going to do anything about it. If they don't leave within a couple days I'll call someone."

They were gone the next day.
