[Pic] Cleaning your BBQ for Summer


Recommended Posts

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

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

so heres the BBQ in question

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

I thought I was pretty smart hehehe designed to be easily manoevered 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...

I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when I noticed some fatty looking substance on the top of the

side shelf thing....

Bit weird.. I clean 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.

I did something very similar to that. I had a small wooden tool shed out back with a huge nest in it. So i drilled a hold in the side and popped 3 insect bombs in there. They most defenitly do the trick, although I think 3 might have been overkill.

To bad you were un aware of the nice honey comb they had made, that could have been a win win situation for you.

What was he supposed to do?

you can call anyone that keeps bees (for business or pleasure of course, and theres plenty of them), they will come to your place for free, put them to sleep and relocate them to their own premises.

They do it because:

1) a healthy hive is valuable and not easy to find

2) they produce honey, wax and lots of other very lucrative products.

3) they get something for free, so everyone is happy... the bees included.

So... what he just did was NOT a good idea. :cry:

Have you ever seen that documentary showing what would happen in the world if bees got extinct??

At the moment entire hives are dying from an illness we cant still understand, all over the world, they are very much in danger of extinction.

now, if they were wasps, that would be slighlty different..

The majority of honey bees are not dangerous and this despicable act was truly unnecessary. Wouldn't it have been so much better to have pictures of a bee keeper actually removing the colony? I'm guessing the person was after; shock and awe. People that do these types of things are really capable of much worst and most likely have.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
