Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This might be borderline technology, but I figured it's summertime and people probably need some kind of solution to killing bees.
So, my mad scientist of a father and I decided to build a machine to kill bees. We were having a pretty terrible infestation in our own front yard, so we decided to take the situation into our own hands.
With that said, I present to you, the construction of use of the machine:
This is the initial piece of pipe that goes in the bottom of the water jug. We used a soldering iron to cut a chunk out of the bottom of the plastic jug, and stuck that thing in there.
We then attached a vacuum cleaner hose to that piece of pipe shown above, and duct taped it down, nice and snug.
Another vacuum cleaner hose was then attached to the other side of the jug.
That's the beast completed, but not yet attached to our vacuum. The pipe over to the left is a piece of PVC tubing, so we don't have to get too close to our victims.
The setup outside, with the tube extended over to where the bees nest is.
Here's a couple pictures of what happened in the first 3-5 minutes.
Here is I think... probably 10-20 minutes in, closer to 20.
A distance shot to show ya how fast they were building up.
This was when we decided to try to stop bees from going into the other nest by using a hose. It worked fantastically, as far as we can tell.
These next two shots are what I have dubbed the beecam, two eerie shots of what it must feel like to be a bee at this moment.
And so that brings us onto our final two pictures, and of all the destruction caused:
This was a pretty long winded post and formatted pretty terribly, but when dealing with thumbnails whaddya gonna do.
So, there you have it. The construction of the machine, and its effects on bee lives. Make it, and enjoy it. It really comes in handy.

I don't think you are.
Get some Raid.
And when you're done, you take the bees and
1) Suck bees into water jug
2) ???
3) Profit!
Suggestion for 2:
The trash is too ordinary.
EDIT: And that's pretty freakin awesome.
Because you must have had a LOT of bees.

also, PETA is on the line, they're asking for you.
Can't kill underground nests with those kind of sprays, you have to use a different kind of chemical.
We wanted a non-chemical solution, too.

This is much better than, say, setting the hive on fire. Which is what I would have done.
Seriously, we need more threads like this.

On fire.
Flying bees of fire.
O.O

uhhh...
you're not serious right?
filter
Bane of young children everywhere.
Exactly what I was going to ask.
That is quite the spiffy idea to deal with the buggers. But isnt it a very long solution to deal with them?
Do it.
What if you put a seperate fan unit at the end of it, so it sent the bees into spinning blades of doom?
I'll admit to crying(I must've been 5 or something, this was in kindergarten), but I don't recall shitting my pants. I'm not exactly deathly afraid of stinging bugs either, maybe I would be if they had stung me.

No, instead of filter, you use the other end and put the blades there, so they are sucked into their doom and contained in the jug.

Guy1: There's nothing bitchin about the games soundtrack. It's practically all elevator music.
Guy2: That's just hilariously stupid. I can't imagine playing a fighting game with "Girl from Ipanema" playing in the background.
The idea is getting rid of them, not the gun version.
Well if you wanted it as a gun, I imagine one of those drill things for ice would be the best way to shoot out bees at high velocities. Have a seperate hose exit with closable tubes so the intake wont have any reverse power. That way you can have the gun aparatus part sererate from the intake.
I believe its called an Auger(sp?)
Some of the tough ones get to live in the jug.
