Wasps / bees!

[Simo]

Anyone got any impressive stories of wasps or bees? I can think of a few tales from when I was younger - and my dad trying to kill a massive wasps nest, using a hosepipe and his van exhaust :P

Anyway - Had the council around this morning to deal with a wasps nest, which is sitting just above my front door! :fcuk:

£50 for literally 2 minutes work. :( I'm not sure the spray/powder he put on is killing the blady things either. Its certainly making them angry though :P

Time will tell. :zainy:

lol thats something i havent actually seen this year, they most know to stay away from me!

Ive never seen a wasp nest either, but when i was younger i used to think they were friendly and try and pat them and stuff, i got stung lots, and i learned my lesson!

[Jacko]

there was a wasps nest in my back garden a year or two ago...i heard a trick was to pour petrol down then nest(which was sunk into a grass hill out my back) and just cover it...but me being a knob head decided to set the petrol on fire...this resulted in me bein set on fire....so i "stop/drop/roll" in the proccess i get stung at least 5 times....but eventually i got the flames out and covered the nest and they died!

[Chris]

Nice!!

We had loads of the little buggers annoying us at a family BBQ yesterday, but many of them met their doom.

I've been stung a few times in the past... the worst one was when I was young, we put the tent up at the bottom of the garden... I ran up the garden towards the house and trod on a wasp with bare feet... my foot swelled up like a balloon and I could fit any of my shoes on for a couple of days, so couldn't go to school.

Chris :)

[saunders]

I hate wasps and Bees....When I was at school I walked through the field and stood on a wasp nest had them all round my head. F**k me did I run!! LOL Got stung so many times it was unreal, I blame it on the fact I was holding a Chocolate bar though. So now when ever I hear one buzzing around I run!!

[Harv]

lol Simo. There complete b*stards arnt they. We have a house in france which we went to for 2 weeks from the 15th of July until the 29th.

Wasps and Bees are a right pain over there. We get these flying bee like things which are totally black and around 5 times the size of an average bee. Anyway....on the 3rd night....we were all having a nice meal in the garden and we noticed a tonne of bees going into the wall. Its an old stone cottage btw so loads of gaps in the pointing etc.

My dad goes up the ladder with the old Raid bee/wasp killer. Blasted that into the whole and nothing came out. After like 5 minutes more were going in. Anyway...my dad cemented the whole up but they just went into different ones. So we gave up on the last day. I mean with the ammount of bees going in...we reckon its bigger than 2 or 3 footballs. Think its in the roof like. There a pain in the arse to get rid of aswell.

And about wasps...WELL!!! We had post one morning - i went out to get it. Postman waited for me and handed me the post and was just starring at the post box. So off he tootled and i had a quick peak in the box. Well.....there was an wasps nest that filled the post box. Got my dad on the case...we bout a smoke bomb from the local supermarket :afro:. Stuck that in...waited a few minutes and Boom...they were all dead.

Sorry about the long story ;). Oh....we had flying ants nests aswell in the garden :P. The french arnt bothered about insects nests in their house or garden. Its just the good old British that think there man eating monsters :y:

EDIT: I also saw a few Praying Mantis's - They are fascinating (sp?) lol!

that class.

After my friend got stung by two wasps near our local park I decided to take matters into my own hands and went on a vigilante mission.

Armed with a badminton racket I swept through their colony like a hornet, causing havoc and destruction...
































...then the f**kers stung the shit out of me.

[vidal]

I'll see your bees, and raise you mine.

I just laffed at that out loud and now every one in my office is looking at me funny!:y:

[Leo]

lol vidal love the pics

[Simo]

Nice pics Vidal... lmao

[Curran]

we had a hornet and a wasp nest at school a few years back. the wasps nest was on a post just behind the football goal, so we did the sensible thing and kicked the football at it and tried to knock it off the post. the hornets nest was in a huge tree so we decided to throw stones at it but it didnt do much as it was so high up it only got hit a couple of times.
i hate the bloody things, last time i was stung i had a big reaction and my leg swelled up. :(

[Harv]

haha thats awesome. Nice idea there mate ;). And what a bees nest. Didnt get any pics of ours i dont think. Just some of the house and that. By the time my parents go back in 2 weeks i reckon it would have grown about twice the size it was when we were there. We cant see the thing though but the ammount of bees going in is ridiculous. We counted how many went in, in 1 minute and it was 93 (no joke). And they just keep coming aswell :n:.

The smoke bomb was the best though. Popped it in...BOOM....shhhhhhh....in 2 mins around 500-1000 wasps dead LOL! The things you can buy in a supermarket over there ;)

[jeeves_101]

i got stung a real lame way when i was a wee nipper, tripped over playing football and i happened to kneel down oon a dead bee and it stung me.

how lame.

i hate the things tho, wasps more so as bees dont mean it as they die once they sting you, but wasps acctually buzz round you to piss you off, then they sting you. b**tards

[Barry123]

Q: what is the point in wasps? do they have any direct benefit to the animal world or society?

Or were they just put on the planet to piss every other creature off?

[jeeves_101]

just to piss everyone off i think.

when they buzz around you, apparently they acctually give off this chemical which makes you flail your arms, so then they have an excues to sting you.

We used to get taught dodgy bible stories in school and one was about bees and wasps.......

They say the devil created wasps to cause havoc on earth and sting everyone for a giggle......then god created bees to take out the wasps....but being god he made it so that once a bee stings it has to die....due to sacrifice its own life for taking the wasps........

I never believed it tbh..........dodgy stories....Noahs ark...animals came 2 by 2 and all played nice.......I dont think so...the lions and tigers would of tore shit up

[Graeme]

that one was anoying as hell last night si, wouldnt leave me alone untill i killed it :P

then i was told by simo (who was trying to cut it in half with a bread knife) that they release a sent and the other wasps will be coming after me! i then got quite nervus lol


my dad was also stung while on holiday when he was younger on his willy! that would be the worst place to get stung i would ever think!

[Harv]

[Jacko]

[Robb]

is it me or do bees/wasps seem to double in size every summer...?

[Jacko]

is it me or do bees/wasps seem to double in size every summer...?

Bee's seem to for sure..seen one yesterday was the size of a 50p ffs!

A bee flew into my face the other day full pelt..felt like sumone had just flicked me as hard as they could..wee basatrds!:n:

[Barry123]

i was driving along the other day with arm out the window and hit one with my hand (accidently) scared the shit out of me, thought id hit a bird or something lol. and my hand was covered in bee juice...

[Harv]

is it me or do bees/wasps seem to double in size every summer...?

probably yea lol. Theres loads of weird insects coming over from other countries as climates supposed to be getting warmer etc. (Britain does not go with that statement however).

I mean look at all them Great Whites in the med now. There also down on the south coast of Britain. We never really used to have them and only 1 or 2 in the med. Now they say there are way more - because the water has got warmer so they breed better or something like that.

[Jacko]

Hate the be juice like ive hit a few big-ish bee's and the juice just stays on the windscreen and is a bastard to clean of without using proper cleaning stuf!:n:

[Morgan_VTR]

I got stung on saturday on my finger twice. I didnt see what it was but I presume its a wasp (single un-barbed stinger) as it left two nice needle marks in my finger.

Doesnt look like much but the swelling has gone down abit (thank God)

my dad used to have a kit car, and with the uprigh windscreen we got a few bugs...on the way to one show we must have driven into a flying bees nest. the crustage on the windscreen was immense

[Kelly]

Just remembered... we're off camping the weekend after next and every time we go to this place its full of honey bee type things. Sort of as big as a bee but brown in colour and they don't leave you alone.

Won't be coming out the tent for long if they are there this time lol

6 1/2 ft long...jesus christ...i think id have moved house if i found that! mutant wasp FTW!

[Mystic]

Jesus f*cking christ Vidal, Simo shoulda hired you instead of the council although by the looks of things you'd probably burn his house down. ;)

Ages ago at a BBQ my sister (about 10 at the time) & a bout 6 others climbed over the back wall into a foresty area beside a golf course, Map (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=eh12&ie=UTF8&ll=55.941618,-3.264366&spn=0.001721,0.005193&t=h&z=18&om=1), & her and one of the other girls tripped on2 a wasp nest which was inside a hollowed out log whilst they were all running through the trees. The 2 of the landed on the nest & destroyed it & everyone who was there got stung at least 10 times. My sister & the girl she was with were in a horrific state though & had 2 go to hospital both had over 50 stings

[Karl]

lmao at Nuking of the bee's.

[Row_Row]

6 1/2 ft long...jesus christ...i think id have moved house if i found that! mutant wasp FTW!

lol.... the wasps are gone.. the nest is still up there i think !! haha !!! it was fuckin awesome thing to think them tiny little fuckers created it haha !!

[RyanSaxo]

when i was very little....there was one of those big hornet wasp things asleep in my pants :oops: well when i put them on it started to wake up.... must have got in them when they were on the washing line or summet? But anyway, this thing decided to sting me on my knob once, so i screamed and pulled my pants down letting it fly away.....

It did however decide to sting me for the second time on my sack as it flew away!

Did it hurt, fook me!

[Curran]

bee's dont die after they sting you. its a myth.

i watched a documentary on them once and it said only one type of bee dies after it stings you or something along those lines. most bee's wont die.


wasps are just little fuckers who have no purpose!

[al_VTR]

Got a wasps nest above our front door as well, now getting into the house where the pipes come in. Going to have to pay the council to spray there crap, but as Simo said they want about £40 for 5mins work!!

I keep saying to my old man i'll do it with my exhaust but he seemed to think it was a bad idea lol

[Barry123]

It's true, i think wasps serve no purpose in nature, which proves there is no god either.

[R4T]

i remember about 2years ago me and my mate went to a meet with his civic type r parked up next to 3ladies in a kitted up clio rsi,we got out stretch our legs eating a sandwich when all off a sudden we here a crunch like bang turn round and the bimbo in the passenger seat wanted to get out so quickly she pushed the door and bent it so much it marked the door/wing(a fair bit lol) and the door wudnt close proper,all because a blue bottle thing was in the car it wasnt even a wasp lmao all i could was piss myself laughing my mate commented 'would you like my mates number he will sort that dents out fro you no problem' the owner was not best pleased lol

[Jamie]

I hate bee's/wasps wasps more so. Few weeks back i was driving along and a huge wasp flew in my window and started flying at my face! I smacked it one hard and it hit the window and landed on the dash then i see its back started moving like it was proper pissed off.

Jamie gets out the car at the lights and runs.

some woman got it out in the end... LOL

[willsy]

Vidal those pics were legendary! :)

Never been stung myself, my sister always seems to attract bee's and wasps though, she got stung a few times weekly

[Rosstafarian]

should be coming some day now shouldn't it, what with your e-celeb status and all.

[al_VTR]

If you can prove it can be done i'll vote for you

[DanA]

i hate wasps, they really do scare the s*it out of me :( although never been stung just think there evil basterds :(

[Graeme]

dare i ask, how?

what clever excuse was thought up at the hospital?

:P

he was p*ssed and didnt see it in his bed :P

didnt go to hosp my grandma had to put cream on it for him lol

[Nick_T]

ive been stung loads of times, probably the worst place was under my armpit, i was on the beach and my brother shouted like 'wasp!' and i was like 'where?!' at which time my arms stuck to my sides and ouch, bugger got me. got stung on the forearm once and was just watching its bum wiggling lol. then i flicked it off and stood on it haha 1-0 to nick

[ruffboyhoy]

well it happened jut last night when i was at work! Was putting the newspapers out at about half 4, and heard it buzzing around, looked up at the light and i swear to god therse was a bee the size of a light bulb, i kept my eye on it as it was circling me lol, then all of a sudden it kept flying down towards me, so i kept ducking out the way lol i ended up running out the hotel doors with it chasing me around the car park lol was so funny, i'm going to watch the CCTV tonight when im back at work, bet i looked like a right tit ducking and running round the front of the reception!!! haha sorry if this bores anyone!

[Graham]

i have never seen a bee/wasp nest. glad i havent either

[jdavies23]

I was in my grandparents paddock one day and randomly decided to prod this bonfire they were preparing- to my horror a swarm of wasps shot out litterally as they do on cartoons in a big long black line and chased me 100 metres up to the top of the paddock and my grandma had locked the door on the inside to stop me going in whilst she mopped the floor and as i was knocking, they caught up with me and 21 of the little bastards stung me from my neck down to my waist. ouch.

[Martinsaxo]

I hate the little fuckers, get hit by them all the time when on my bike, got stung in the chest and on my knee while riding, not the best of things lol.

Martin.

[Jimmy-Boy]

i remeber last year when i saw a nest so i coaught loads of spiders and red ants and chucked them in to :P they dint fight that much so i got out my dads jet washer and riped them all apart! :y:

[DanA]

next door have just had one seen to in the last hour wasps around allover :@ hate them :(

[Lambo69]

i just thought i would bump this thread and share my annoyance with wasps.

I woke up to buzzing in my ear this morning ,so i opened my eyes had a look round and couldnt see anything then *Sting*

Little f*cker got me on the arm.

I would like to add that he is no longer alive as i squished him.

Everyone is finding it really funny as i have a fobia of them and bee's and always run away like a sisy girl from them.
But when i try to be a man and not care they get me!

GOD DAMN THINGS i wish they would piss off no purpose for them apart from to ruin bbq's.

im off to the garden on a wasp killing spree!

[barrett]

i seem to remember reading somewhere that if you wiped wasps out they would have no impact on the ecosystem of the world.

They eat wood and make their nest out of it, and they have no natural predators.


I remember a lad in school got stung in the ass in a spanish lesson and had to go to the school nurse to get the sting removed from his arse. Had to kneel in lessons for the rest of the week... top class.
