Nonetheless, please do not hurt hundreds of animals at a time which is not a 100% necessary (use your brain as a human on this one, not your irrational fears), I know quite a few beekeepers from other forums which all continuously express their concerns, as it seems for good reason because large hives are dissappearing each day. Scientists recorded entire populations dissapearing in a large areas in the EU and US. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/8306970/Einstein-was-right-honey-bee-collapse-threatens-global-food-security.html
So because I commented one word (epic) on his blog, you automatically assume that I'm an ignorant and dumb American who knows nothing about the positive effects that bees have on Earth's ecosystems? That's very arrogant of you.
He's not going around committing mass genocide of bees. This one beehive occupied his table and seeing that they were a nuisance, he killed them. Iceland isn't doomed.

peacenl, you ruined it... Not to be a douchebag, but that post kinda reminds me off my mom... Me and people watching like a youtube video of fat people falling, and she goes and says, like wow how would you feel in their shoes.. Pretty shitty I suppose! Funny as heck though.
Whhaaa whaaa geeze, its all good fun. Stop going all "negative Nancy" on us :D

I know bees are beneficial and whatnot, but fuck I hate the little fuckers.
Was driving with windows down and one just flew into my neck area stinging me into a fit of rage.
Good riddance, and it's not they'll die anyway. When the hive gets destroyed, the workers eat up to 2x their body weight in honey and start to build a new hive immediately.

Looking badass as always. Nice shades bro.

No apparent reason? You know they sting on sight? They were in our garden and they were flying all over, me and my friend got stung three times just by approaching the table...

Are you sure they were bees and not wasps? I always thought wasps were way more aggressive, because if a bee stings you it will die, but a wasp can sting you as many times as it wants and it will not die.

Maybe, but I'm sorry cause my english vocabulary is a bit lacking. All I know that they are not bees... Though I'm not sure if they are wasps or not.
