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.

Re: Musa AeAe help!!!

The bottom line for growing the AeAe successfully is -------------

For outdoors you have to live in South Florida or Hawaii.

Or you must have a heated green house!
