Big problem with bees
Went to use the Weber kettle BBQ and discovered a huge hive of bees taking up 80% of the space between grill and cover.
Any ideas on how to deal with it????

Re: Best bnanana knife ever
Correction to my first post. The Knife is curved not straight. Start the cut and pull back. Banana leaves drop off with one pull. The manufacturer is Accusharp.
