I love the ignorant comments like the last one. They provide no reason, no research and no rationale beyond that of a spoiled 2yr old. It just proves just how badly people need to be educated about their impact on the planet. Of course, to them, it’s always somebody else’s problem.

I appreciate your love for nature, and interest in protecting the bee population, but this was his proporty, and he has the right to do whatever he wants with the animals who invade his property. Sure, it might have been better if he would have called a beekeeper, but that’s no excuse to call him an idiot. It’s over and done with.

I applaud that individual for killing that hive, and would have done the same thing. These environmental nut jobs that are calling this guy an idiot have a very twisted sad view of reality. The person didn’t walk out his door looking for bees to kill. He didn’t set his grill up to attract bees so he could kill them later. He just came outside, found a bee hive, and took care of it.
If the situation were some how reversed and he set up shop under and a giant bee hive, you would still call him an idiot when he was attacked. Don’t say you wouldn’t, because I have heard it from liberal activist before. They say things like, “You should have been more careful.” Or, “If you would have been more respectful of their territory, it wouldn’t have happened.”
In a way, I actually like that argument. In this case, the bees should have been more careful. And more respectful of that persons territory. If they had been, they would still be alive.

This is one of the most appalling and sickening things I have ever seen on the internet. Wow! The human race is a disgrace and has a lot to answer for.

It’s terrible when I take a look at those pictures one by one.

Neal, Thank you for pointing out that the source of these pictures is likely Australia – Apparently the bug bomb they used (Mortein) is an Australian brand. But I’m curious – how do you know those are European bees when there are 1,500 types of native bees there?

From what I’ve read, European bees are important for crop pollination because many of the crops grown in Australia are not native. However, there is a Australian stingless bee that can do the same, but locations they can be used is limited and can’t produce enough honey to meet demand.

Also, the USDA may be banning (or has banned by now) the import of Australian bees to the US because an Asian bee that the US doesn’t want has been accidentally introduced to Australia. See, bees are traded between countries all the time; one reason being, certain bees will pollinate during different times of the year.

After reading several sources, it looks like the Asian bee is the big problem in Australia as they can carry a type of mite that are harmful for indigenous bees, they steal honey which can harm other bees, and they are poor pollinators. Plus, they multiply rapidly, are more aggressive and can sting people, unlike the Australian stingless…

So, anyway, unless you can tell from the type of hive, which I couldn’t find any info on, based on the pics, how are we to know what type of bees those are? If those are the Asian bees, then I guess there would be reason to kill them, but I doubt the lay person would know the difference…
