all it takes is google the picture of a bee ?????!??

we are all IT pros here still no one knows how to use google to find what insect is living in his BBQ??

It took those bees years and years to form a stable healthy colony, I hope the OP enjoyed his BBQ knowing this.

look like a bit of the US attitude.. you go for extermination before actually plugging in the brain..

What was he supposed to do?

Call a Bee keeper.

Call a bee keeper, he would have removed them for free. Also the bees would be put to good use in agricultural lands which need them and everyone could enjoy some sweet honey :)

Exactly.

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.

Agreed. If he felt brave, he could have even attemted this himself.

My dad used to work with bees and once had to go in to a shed that had a huge infesteation of Bees. He walked in with the gear on, found the center of the hive and pumped it full of the sleepy stuff. Then he put his hand in and felt around for the queen. He took the queen and carried her to a new hive he had for her at the keepers grounds and put her in there. The other bees turned up about 3 hours later and the shed was empty, other than a few that hung around, which they where able to erradicate with normal pest control substances.

What this guy just did was really not needed at all :no:

ok, so you took out some bees, wasted some good honey, you may still be able to use the wax for a candle or something, but NOW you have to clean all the chemicals off the BBQ before it is fit for using.... good luck with that, that stuff sticks.

I think your question has been answered a few times!

Totally agree with your sentiment! This sort of horrific attitude, towards living creatures that are doing what they were intended to do, makes me sick to the core! I am actually sorry that I saw this!

thats like a 500+ kill streak

M-M-M-M-Multi KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those people attacking him for that should stfu, you have no right to crucify this man for providing me with such ENTERTAINMENT!

It may have been better for the environment if he called some bee keepers.

But all this stuff about not knowing whats killing the bees, Hate to burst your worry bubble but they already know its a parasite, and only stubborn bee farmers now are the ones not willing to use the parasite killer.

I was on an ORGANIC bee farm, and yes there is a "deemed" organic repellent for this!

Being as I was only interested in getting honey I don't remember what it was called if I was even told, so don't go askin :D.

Zab, Out.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
