Received this as an email from a friend ! Thought you guys may enjoy it ...........
So I'm using my bbq this weekend... so i thought I'll clean it up..
I have known there were bee's coming from under the cover so I thought I'd kill them, obviously...
so heres the bbq in question
now i know these bombs aren't for bee's 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 designed to be easierly manovered under the cover of darkness... so then i release the weapon of buzz destruction..
OMFG! 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 grave
I 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..
Bee is for BBQ
I recall honey chicken can come up quite well on a barbie. Mortein flavoured honey though?
Bit of a shame about the bees, but I don't think colonies can be relocated very easily can they?
Bee is for Bee Bumping Bastard more like it... 
Yeah, I guess if you realised it was more than a few bees, you may have done things differently. Its a shame you can't eat that honey now.
Harry we must know the same people somewhere cause I got sent the same email from a friend also haha , oh and yea how could you not notice that something was going on there, My cousin works with bees and when we were kids when you go near the hive it's incredibly loud?
maybe they were away over winter???
Thats sad. Bees do good work & they're becoming more endangered. Sorry I'm a bit of a greeny. Guess it's dangerous if you have kids. Bees used to take over the (bird) nest boxes I had hanging in a tree. Call any apiarist (beekeeper), they'll be stoked to come and get a new hive. Your local council should be able to let you know how to contact one. They put a box beside the wild colony to relocate them.
Great share, thanks.
I'm alergic to bees and bbq's, but caved in and got a bbq for my other half's b'day recently, and where else but at Bunnings which is an women's conspiracy to occupy men on weekends.
bees are incredible creatures, and play an important role in our planet.
its a shame they had to be killed , bees can easily be removed.
Using poisen to remove bees is unnessesary, as well as dangerous.

a real shame.. :-(
Had a migrating swarm of bees - angry as - looking for a new home come through our back yard and lodge in the yard behind a couple of weeks ago. I have a bit of bee lovin fascination, but have never seen (or heard) anything like it before.
There was soooo many bees the air was thick with them and every animal around pretty much furked orf quick smart - as did I and number one (5 yr old). Was quite incredible to see actually, but the sound was trully amazing!! It was so loud and 'threatening' at 1st I wasn't sure but (as for the birds/other insects/anything with a pulse) every instinct told me to not angabout. They hung about for around an hour before heading off to scare the be-jeezus out of some more neighbourhood folks.
Hmm... tis a bit of a shame to wipe out all those bees (not the least being the honey was rendered useless) but obviously it was quite a surprise to find a whole metropolis goin on under the hood.
I rode through a swarm of bees on my 250 one arvo wearing boardies n a jacket... didn't even see them as they broadsided me and was cruising along when SPLATT!! ZAP!! SPLOCH!! SPLAT!! etc etc... "KN ell!! What was that!!" That was like getting hit with 100+ small paint pellets at once, not fun I can tell ya.. 
Stings on my kneck, thighs, hands - even a couple of dead buggers in my helmet!!
I too am a 'greeny' and sad to see a whole colony die
But I believe (but need a better photo of the species), that these are the common introduced honeybees which have no real ecological/environmental value
I think they preferentially pollinate mainly introduced species (as they evolved with them to 'fit' size and behaviour with the plant species from the countries they were introduced from)
They also outcompete the native bees
So sad, but maybe not too bad (do you have a closer bee pic)?
Natives are smaller and more passive and less colourful, so if they were crazy, i'm thinking honeybee
shame about the bee's but still a pretty funny email. i certainly wasn't expecting anything like the size of that hive even after seeing the amount of dead bees
