Or just change the Imgur link extension to .gif and it will put the gif version here if that’s what you want.

It just shows a single frame from the gif but it doesn't play.

I had a loss at a house where the HO had a vacuum cleaner on each floor of the house. Four.

No, they were not disabled.

They cleaned under and behind the refrigerator weekly

Why was the house a loss? Did they vacuum the load bearing parts off the house down to nothing?

Heck, if I could afford a four-story house I'd also keep a vacuum on each floor instead of hauling them up and down the stairs.

Three dogs, two cats, and it’s winter so the dogs are spending most time indoors right now. Though on work days I only vacuum once because I’m gone for 13+ hours.

When my parents had a house built in the early 90's they got one of those centralized vacuum cleaner systems. It's a cool idea until something gets stuck somewhere in the pipe in the wall.

I assume that's an apiarist saving a hive? Those squares are cut to fit the box? Are the workers that got sucked up mostly dead? :ohdear:

When I was young, I kept hearing a weird noise in the attic above my room. You could knock at that spot and it would change and go away for a little bit but come back. We ignored it. One day I was up in my room practicing guitar and noticed a bee on my shirt. Huh, weird. Then I started noticing them everywhere, probably a hundred bees had infiltrated my room via a chewed hole in the ceiling, with more crawling out by the second

I was not chill like that guy, we gassed them to hell

They use a "bee vac", it has gentle suction and deposits them into a big box or bucket.

He also talks about the procedure in the gif above, it's called a 'cut-out' and is rather labor intensive but the most thorough way to safely remove/relocate a hive that has set up in a structure.

My Aunt and Uncle put a system like that in their house when they built it, and 20 years on they still get excited to show off the fact that they can sweep crumbs or whatever into one spot in front of their kitchen island and then kick open a plate that would suck it into the system.

It's pretty sweet, if I'm honest.

On this page, he mentions that in Australia bees aren't aggressive, which just seems wrong based on everything I know about Australia. Also, some nutter let bees build a hive in their walls for five years before the neighbours started getting stung and the council demanded they get it removed

Gotta nuke something
I once stayed at a place in south america that had a huge bee hive in the backyard. Owner said to just stay away from it. No problem I think. Then the first night I get up to grab something from the kitchen, and walking around in the dark I feel something flying around.

I turn on the lights and discover that at night, the entire hive likes to relocate into the kitchen to stay warm. Bees covering every surface. A few nights later some else comes to stay in one of the other rooms in the house. I tell them "Stay out of the kitchen at night, there's bees." I think they thought I meant I saw A bee, so the first night they're there I'm woken up to shouts of "JESUS gently caress! WHAT IN THE loving HELL!!"

Unsurprisingly beekeepers have preferred and selected for the most chill colonies which have also affected wild populations so bees are just generally a lot less aggressive today.

When I was 16, I lived in my father's basement. One day I heard all this stomping going on upstairs, so I went to check it out. Our kitchen was swarming with bees. My dog was freaking out, my dad was freaking out. Just bees, bees, bees everywhere! Then all at once, WHOOSH no bees. Dead silence. My father, who had been stung like eight times now stood there panting, confused. I quickly took the dog out, so he wouldn't get his stupid butt stung. Then the bees came back, all at once. No bees, then thousands of bees. They stung us, then retreated. Suddenly no bees. It turns out there was a tiny hole in the ceiling, and the bees were like all coming out in waves then rushing back in. We duct-taped the hole shut and let the bees have the attic.

Australian has over 1700 species of native bees and most do have stings, but I've never heard of anyone getting hurt by them. It's always European honey bees.

e: We did have a "Africanised killer bee" scare back in the 80s, but nothing ever came of that.

Over here it's invasive Asian hornets that are causing some trouble, stinging people if they feel that their nest is being threatened, and preying on local honey bees, which don't have the appropriate evolutionary defenses (yet). It's contributing to a decline in the bee population.
