Sorry to double post guys, but I had a thought.

all this dude had to do to get rid of the bees would have been to pull off the cover the BBQ at nite. The bees would not bother anyone at nite if approached cautiously.

The bees would have took their honey and left in the morning if the cover was removed. In 2 hours or so.

If anyone has a similar situation, please don't do this to the bees. There are usually beekeepers who would have gotten the hive off the property free. Thanks in advance.

I don't want to eat that dude's BBQ either with cockroach spray all over it. Wonder why he thought bug spray could ever be cleaned completely off. Yuck.
