Go fence somewhere else.

First, an aggressive tiger, now overly aggressive bees. What extraordinarily aggressive animal will be next to attack humanity?!?!

Bee trifecta now in play?

/third one better bee good
//is shot in the head

1) The woman, who has bees to harvest honey, told firefighters she was tending to the queen when the colony of bees became disturbed and began attacking her.

I would be more than a bit concerned if I was this woman's neighbor.

2) She was unable to escape the swarm of bees using normal methods.

What the hell are "normal methods" for escaping swarms of bees? Would that be running? Or jumping in a pond using a reed as a snorkel?

3) I saw this in a parking lot of a grocery store a couple months ago and was quite confused:

And a high pressure garden hose is only mildly effective against a swarm of angry yellow jackets, too.

/trust me on this
//you'd think after 40+ stings I'd be some sort of superhero or somethin' by now

can safety say I've never been stung by yellow jackets. Wonder if they will feature her on discover channel, i see lots of bee stories on there.

Throw a load of plain old dishsoap into the pumper's booster tank, set your hoses for a modified fog, and get after it. The soap coats the bees wings, makes them unable to fly. Regular water will just piss them off.

/Never did it myself, but my dad had a cool story about it, bro.
//assumes your engine has a booster tank. If not, yer screwed.

You sure your finger tips aren't covered in stings right now?

I quite like the double handed Raid© cans myself. Avoid the wasp and hornet brand, as it's just a solid stream... you want to envelope yourself in a cloud of toxic death when these nasty winged merchants of pain come calling... hate yellow jackets... hate them, I so hate them.

And yes, no yellow jackets were involved in the story... just sayin...

The soap tends to coat them so they can't breath so well too.. oil is probably better for that, but bees breath through their 'skin'... seal it up, and they suffocate. But it's hell dipping each one in a can of oil... hehe

Can I pee on them?

BadAnalogyGuy: Can I pee on them?

The fire hoses? I'm sure you can, but why?

I'm the magical vegetable!

Although is not well know, in south during the mid-sixties, there were many bee attacks during protests.

Police dogs were also know to prevent bee attacks.

I often wondered, why the fire hoses? It's also strange how the bees attacked certain people more than others.

Cant say for sure since I am at work at the moment. Since my job requires me to use a keyboard and mouse I'm pretty sure I'm not covered in stings.

The bees were profiling.... and profiling is just wrong.

Beads?!

But then the dogs get bees in their mouths. And the next time they bark they shoot bees at you.

Bees are all the rage this morning. Modtards.

Approves.

/can't believe I'm the Weeners an Izzard reference :)

Filterpwned? Seriously don't get that. o_0

From the comments:

"Beekeepers are modern heroes, preserving an essential part of our food supply and environment."

This one almost became an hero.

(Surprised no one's mentioned this yet.) It sounds like they may have some killer bee a/k/a Africanized bee blood in them. I hope someone tests for this. It's disturbing how they keep moving further and further north. We're going to hear more stories like this. :-(

That's because it's un-PC to imply that there is anything wrong with African bees. But for the circumstances in which they are raised, Africanized bees would be upstanding, productive members of bee society. We really aren't allowed to blame their aggressive and frequently deadly behavior on their DNA.

Wanted for questioning:

hrm. i bet she was harvesting honey and pissed them off by being a dumbass. you really have to be stupid to get them all worked up. a little smoke and smooth movements are all it takes.

oh noes, the bees bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt

aromaticmahogany: Approves.

/can't believe I'm the Weeners an Izzard reference :)

You are the weeners indeed.

sirgrim: Oh believe me, my fire hose is very useful against them. It shoots fire.

You should see a doctor about that.

When I was a kid providing slave labor my brother and I would get bored and use a bottle of water to poor down bee nests in the ground and then stomp on the bastards when they crawl up.

/very CSB I know.

I like my coffee like I like my women: covered in bees.

Maybe she should try opening up a can of whoopass next time



/what a can of whoopass for bees might look like
//hot like the fire they weren't putting out

Sort of off-topic, but has anyone else noticed the lack of bees around? I'm not raving about the colony collapse disorder, which has been reported for years now. I'm talking about there are no bees outside. Anywhere. I work outside all day long, around plants, and this year, there are no farking bees. I've seen about 12 all summer.

But all the goddamned wasps! Jesus, it's never been this bad before. Or maybe that's just down here (Florida). I keep a can of wasp killer spray handy most times when I'm out in my yard.

Hmm, now look who's mayor. First order of business, FREE HONEY FOR EVERYONE! Yayy! Mayor Bee! Mayor Bee! Mayor Bee! OW! Done stung myself. Bye world!
