From The AP Newswire

WATERLOO, Iowa Sept. 13, 2004 - Firefighters had to be called after a plan
to evict a swarm of bees went up in smoke. Residents used gasoline to start
a fire in hopes of smoking out a hive of bees from under their home Thursday
when the house caught on fire, Battalion Chief Virgil Powell said.

"It wasn't a very good plan," Powell said.
Only minor damage was reported and no one was injured.
Firefighters removed the hive by flushing it out with water, Powell said.
Reported by the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Waterloo Iowa
