BIG BIG Bee hive in a Denver home

[OutHouse]

WOW. ummm 2 years in the making? i would have called somebody before it got to this point.

 

[bradruth]

Gah! I hate bees! :|

 

[xXped0thugXx]

i wonder how that goes un-noticed

 

[Viper GTS]

Meh, if it's honeybees they'll be easy to get out.

They're pretty docile.

they're lucky it isn't in arizona. 99% of the honey bees are africanized down here. I hate bees too. :|

I heard those mothas are pretty nasty along with the fire ants

Dang. That's a lot of bees! I wonder if you could freeze the entire hive with CO2 or Nitrogen, then go in with bee suits and chunk away at it with claw hammers. Bees can't move when they're cold, and the cold would help to make the honeycomb very brittle, and maybe even less sticky.

Well I think one problem with this is that this wouldn't necessarilly get rid of the bees... they would just keep coming back and rebuilding... or at least trying to.

You'd have to move their home or manage to kill 'em all off to be effective, really.

But that idea would be pretty fun

OMG THERE'S HONEY EVERYWHERE! LOOK AT THE CARNAGE!

Just repair the eaves with spray insulation so that they can't get back in.

i bet they are getting a lot of pollen from all the crab apple trees that are in bloom. i wonder what crab apple honey taste like.

 

[AvesPKS]

I would keep it and praise my good fortune. They've got a veritable mead factory in the making in their attic.

 

[TwinkleToes77]

didnt someone in here post a picture of their attic with the huge honeycombs in it as well?

 

[Ryan]

I'm glad that they want to relocate the bees instead of killing them

hah! Maybe they can use that 200 pounds of honey to pay for the 12x12 hole in the roof that they have to cut to get this out lol.

Me too. I'm allergic, and if stung I have to go to the hospital.

Just curious......... would an epi-pen work or would you still have to go to the hospital?

I'm not quite to the stage where I need an epi-pen yet. So at this time I just have to go to the hospital to be monitored or given steroids. The allergy grows with each sting, so if stung a few more times I might need an epi-pen.

I had a buddy of mine who is allergic to bee sting and he got stung once and he epi-penned himself but then had to go to the hospital where they pumped him full of anti-hystomines. He has so much of that stuff in him that he was out like a light for a day & a half.
