What an unbelievably stupid act.

 P.S. That's one big ass-load of bees...maybe you should use/check your grill a little more often?

bees
Quote:
Clearly the poster has not paid attention to the news that has been available in the past year or more that bees are dying off at alarming rates. The loss of a hive is a serious loss. Even if he/she wasn't sure what was under that cover, it would have been a good idea to call the local county exension office and get some advice on how to safely check it out. They'll even come move a hive of bees if reported. |

I don't think they have county extension agents... I don't know if they even have counties in Australia.
 Welcome to the Cellar, Bonifacio, Tawnyscrawnylions@ya & JLrep. I think this is the act of an average, suburban living person, that knows bees (of any stripe) are insects, sting, and are a threat to happy BBQs. I doubt he/she knows much about the bee's, or any insect's, role in nature, only that they are a potential threat to his/her comfort. I don't approve, but I understand. A friend of mine got tired of being attacked by Yellow Jackets every time he mowed the lawn. He poured water down their hidey hole, but they kept buzzing. So he poured gasoline down their hidey hole, but they kept buzzing. So he lit it... yup, a 5 foot deep crater in the lawn. His wife yelled at him for that, but he didn't hear her... or much else, for a week. If for some reason I decided to ambush a hidden nest, and subsequently discovered those combs, I'd sure as hell take pictures.

So you go back and take pictures to show the events leading up to the discovery of the combs, to tell the whole story.

These wasps are called “Tarantula Hawks” because they kill tarantulas and bury them for their young to feed on. They are arguably the largest wasps. This is a pretty big one with a 6.75 inch legspan.
