@...dieAntagonista: Man, me either. Actually, curiosity would’ve gotten the better of me and I’d have tried looking under the cover, would’ve run away screaming, and THEN called some bee expert guy. If I didn’t get stung to death first.

Probably could’ve saved some of the bees if they’d called somebody, too–there was a tree by the hospital down the road where I live that was found to have a pretty big hive in it, and they had to take the tree down either for construction or safety reasons. Some company came and smoked the hive into a container of some sort and took it away.

Found some crazy pictures once of a family who had a colony of bees swarm their swingset. So they built a bonfire underneath with the help of paint thinner, and pretty much burned the bees to death.
