I found a hive today,in my garden festering in an old pot belly stove.
Just wandering if there is any bee fanatics who want a free hive.
Easy access and on the ground.
Any ideas for a quick mass kill,if there are no takers?
Cheers

Agree with saltiest

But for a quick mass kill, propane and a match

I had a nest in one of my old windsurfing boards I tried and ring around to get someone to move them but they didnt show. Hope you have some luck mate. I think extermination is the last resort.
(that photo was of the board after i had flipped it multiple times and dragged it around the lawn with the car.. The hive was much larger. Just wait about 2 weeks they may just be swarming. If there not gone in two weeks and no ones collected them you will have to go with Marks resolution.
I attached the bottom half of a 4.8 to the top and bottom half of a 4.2 mast 6 metres

Same its so disappointing killing something alive. Just need a good good tree hollow ;-(

Mate......... I had one hive in an old Webber, kept it for a while.... could smell the honey! Then one day went in the backyard and walked in front of the Webber (I had done it for months) and the little buggers went very agro for some reason and decided to attack me had to run inside they followed me I and got stung about 50 times all over my legs, arms and they went under my T shirt. I called the bee keepers association and they gave me the number of a guy that came and removed them, he came at night to be sure to get them all and charged $100-00, he did not kill them but relocated the hive, he told me that when I went around I must have walked or touched one bee and she sent a panic pheromone to the hive for the soldiers to come out and defend. The guy gave me a kilo of honey in the deal!
Don't kill give them a chance!
