Soil contaminated with gasoline and petroleum ends up being burned in cement
kilns at great expense in this country.(USA)
Half a dozen lawyers and at least as many government agencies will be all over
a spill these days.
Engineers will be hired to map the gasoline plume in the ground and test
borings will be made and sniffed with gas chromatographs.
All in all somebody ends up with his land all dug up and his finances
bankrupt.
 
I chose to use sulfur because these bees were almost unapproacable and the
fumes repel the guards/attackers long enough to stuff some foam rubber into
the entrance and the nozzle of the smoker into the upper drilled hole.
I look at having to kill a hive as a screw up on my part in general- I am
taking my loss in the fall and concentrating my efforts on the hives that are
good gentle producers.
Of 31 hives only 5 are on land that I myself own and I have to be a good
guest.
