Bees: Good…bad….he’s the guy with the vacuum (8 Photos)

: “It was actually going fairly well, except it was pretty dark and I couldn’t see how many bees I was dealing with, and also I was pretty drunk (I reasoned that alcohol would prevent me from going into shock if things went badly and I got stung a bunch). I was clowning around for my girlfriend, pretending I was being stung. Then a bee got inside my helmet and I started freaking out. My girlfriend thought I was still playing around, so I was on my own. I grabbed the bee poison and basically sprayed myself in the face. That stuff is really unpleasant. Then my glasses fell off and I was essentially blind between that and the spray. I went in the front yard and my girlfriend sprayed the bees that were still crawling all over me. I went inside and jumped in the shower. Then I heard screaming as my girlfriend found a couple bees flying around in the house. So I got out and sprayed them, and accidentally got the cats too. We’ll probably all get cancer now. I think I got about 80 bees, which judging from the activity I’m seeing at the nest barely made a dent. So… lesson learned. Never trust your girlfriend to properly duct tape your helmet on. And maybe I shouldn’t have had that last shot. Oh well, I taught them a lesson, one sting and 80 of you die a horrible death, spinning around in the vacuum canister. Bet they got dizzy as fuck.” — TroyPDX

Yeah, those are wasps and not bees. And not the fucking bees ruin every picnic and sting like a motherf*ucker, its the wasps.
Bees just collect the nectar from flowers and unless you dont hug them, they dont sting.

smartass – nobody likes 'em

Pretty sure those are wasps, not bees. Just saying.

andfukyamoms

Pretty sure those are fucking run of the mill yellow jacket bees.

NonBrit

They're wasps with black and yellow stripes. You might think it's nit-picking, but honestly, bees are alright. Wasps are the tiny bastards of the animal kingdom. You usually have to do a lot to piss of a bee, but wasps come in a single setting of miniature rage and desire nothing more than the suffering of all other animals.
TitoRigatoni

Completely sure that yellowjackets are *not* bees, yellowjackets are wasps.

tcuchiver

note to self – hug the bees and they wont sting you

Except ya know…Africanized Bees.

I'm gonna go with yellow jackets on this – yellow paper wasps aren't usually in swarms this big.

giuseppe

they look like wasps not bees.

I suddenly thought about the existence of an alcoholic beverage made out of honey. googled it exists its called Mead or honey wine, i want to try that

Tasty

It's pretty good if you get a good batch. They serve it a lot at ren fairs.

Thumbs up to barenjager,

Try Bruadar, it is a Scottish malt whiskey with honey
tralfaz

They make a Jack Daniels Honey Whisky that is really good, not as strong as regular Jack but still really good.

Yeah it's the oldest known alcoholic beverage known to man. If you feel up to the challenge you can do some online research and make your own hooch. I just finished out a batch of raspberry mead and I've got a batch of blueberry on the way. Also I'm experimenting with combining beer and honey to make what is known as a 'braggot' (half beer, half mead). It doesn't take much to get into if you want to keep it simple with gallon batches at a time. Basically all it takes is some honey, water and some yeast.

I'd recommend this for anyone interested, http://www.amazon.com/Compleat-Meadmaker-Producti…

Started fermenting my own wine as well recently. Mead is on the list of "to-do's"

what?

you've never heard of mead?

They make this stuff in a can called wasp spray. Shoots about 20 feet, kills nicely. Hit the nest good, run into the house for a beer and a sandwich.

In my experience I've found that booze is an outstanding precursor to any endeavor, especially those that may be potentially dangerous. I'm not necessarily trying to advocate alcohol (lame attempt, I truthfully am) but my best work in a variety of endeavors has been under the influence. As such I'm at my fullest potential most every evening.

To the Bee Man – I give you two thumbs up my friend, as high as I can!

Bottle os cheap liquor should come with a disposable camera. Something is bound to happen…..

What no ass and tits? You're all telling us about this girl friend you got but no ass and tit shot? What kind of a human being are you? We see her arm, we know she has an arm and if she has an arm she has tits. Tits buddy, or get the fuck out. It's the internet, google it.
Meh

With the alcohol and jury-rigged helmet, it sounds like a solid plan from the start. I'm truly surprised anything went wrong.

Bees are the asshole of the animal kingdom.

Humans need bees to exist. You are an asshole.

Hey! I have that same vacuum.

chefmaster

found mine on the curb…. best vacuum I've ever owned

http://www.facebook.com/BobbyGosbee Bobby Gosbee

It is funny I tried this exact same thing in my shed the other day and those suckers would not come unstuck from the roof, must be quite the vacuum he has…I had to hit mine with a stick.
alka

I did the same thing two days ago without any safety equipment. I ran the vacuum for about an hour until the 200 or so I caught were pretty docile. Then I opened the canister long enough to throw in a few cotton balls soaked in acetone to suffocate them. No stings. I left all the bodies outside the nest the next day just so they knew what the score was.

TWO EPIC BEE STORIES (that you probably had to be there for…)

If not for my own experiences, I'd think this guy was pretty leet…as it is, the last time I had to deal with a (bee/wasp whatever) flying stinging insect nest…it involved a single barrel shotgun…because the BB gun just didn't do the trick.

Otherwise, my wife and my two dogs and I were swarmed by bees while walking in the woods. My wife and my little dog made it inside, but my other dog ran a different direction. So I had to go retrieve him, all the while simply crushing the bees that were crawling in my hair and on my face and under my shirt with my hands. At that point, I decided, who gives a fuck if they sting me a couple more times, these bastards are going to die. We counted 24 visible stings on my wife (most on her head from being caught in her hair) and I had 18 (probably saved myself a few stings with the and "hand" held bee crusher).

Ha.Ha.

what a retard…

Yeah, those are wasps and they don't die after they sting. You need to kill those from afar by deploying long range wasp spray. Once the first one stings, a pheromone is released and the rest of the warriors go to Threat Level: Red.

80 wasps could easily sting you 800 times. Use a spray next time.
