A much more precise instrument than a Waspnest Bomb, the Bee Shooter resembles nothing so much as it does a leaf-blower. The detachable hive-bag has an opening similar to a purse allowing the operator to simply snap it shut around a beehive. A blower-motor/battery-pack attaches to the side near the front, and a barrel to the very front. A lightweight bar across the top lends rigidity and mounts a small telescopic sight and trigger assembly.

Shake up the bag a bit, engage the blower and point the small-calibre barrel. Since each hive contains thousands of little target-seeking, pissed-off munitions, you can have fun for hours. Ammunition shelf life can be increased by pouring sugar water on the hive-bag.

       //*fear*// the bees are either in the sealed bag, or enroute to the target at high speed, or actually at the target doing their thing... okay maybe "reloading" could require a bit of care.

The barrel is teflon lined and I've put the blower inlet an inch away from the horn-shaped rear of the barrel so they won't clog it up. There's a wasp & hornet edition in the works, if you like, but I thought bees would present more regular aerodynamics.
