This has been circulating around the internet; it was passed on to me by a friend in the office (who got it from someone else). It's so awesome, I thought it was worth sharing. The images have been cropped, and the text has been cleaned up, but not otherwise altered.

NOTE: There's two URLs (see bottom of article) that have the same image, but so far I haven't found an original credit. If anyone can provide, let me know, and I'll add it to the article (or, obviously take down the article). And now, without further ado,...

The Bees in B-B-Q

So I'm using my BBQ this weekend... so I thought I'll clean it up..

I have known there were bees coming from under the cover, so I thought I'd kill them, obviously...

So here's the BBQ in question. [image #1]

Now, I know these bombs aren't for bees and that, but I thought I'll suffocate/smoke them out.

So here is the weapon of choice and delivery system. [images #2 and #3].

I thought I was pretty smart, hehehe, designed to be easierly manovered [sic] 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... [images #4 and #5]

Was at least 20mm deep mass grave! [images #6 and #7]

I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when I noticed some fattly [sic] looking substance on the top of the side shelf thing....

Bit weird.. I clean[ed] 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... [images #8 through #13]

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE

We think the queen flew away.... either that or a small child has wings and has been living in the hive coz that thing was huge!

PhotoBucket (with much different text)

Another steal from the internet, but just too cool not to share.

Isn't it? I keep looking at image #12 and wondering what it must have been like when it was fully active. Indeed, truly awesome!

Pretty amazing. They must not have used the dang grill very much, hey?

Unlike my brother-in-law (and ex-brother-in-law, who grilled almost nightly), yes!

I wonder how long it takes bees to make a hive that big?

I know! That's part of its attraction, I think.  Makes my skin crawl, but I can't look away.

You've got that right. 

I am fighting a headache so if you will oblige me, when did this actually happen?  I'm having a hard time reading.

I got it as an email from a guy who got it as an email from his son who got it from... someone else.

So I can't tell when it happened, but knowing the speed of things these days, I'd guess it happened this year. The text uses metric measurements, so the original source was OUS (Outside the US). From some of the phrasing,... wild guess... possibly Australian?

Maybe the original author will show up and claim credit!

I was truly asking due to the disappearance of bees in this country.  Just curious.

Thank you.

Einstein predicted that within three years of the disappearence of bees, the man would also perish.

It looks Australian, the design of the hive resembled the Sydney Opera House.

The bee thing is very scary. It's hard to see how we could survive their loss.

The Opera House! Yeah, it does!  Good call.

Lilith -- Yes, the Sydney Opera House! Of course!
So how did the bees figure out how to make a scale model of the SOH?? ;)
