In Lynden, revenge is apparently a dish best served as a giant ball of flame.

Lynden Fire Chief Gary Baar told the Bellingham Herald that a man poured gasoline in a beehive in retaliation for one of the insects stinging his friend Sunday.

He lit the hive, creating an explosion that could be seen for hundreds of feet. By the time firefighters arrived, the flames were out.

“No damage, except for a bunch of dead bees,” Baar told the Herald. “The correct way to do that is to call a beekeeper.”

The culprit will not be cited, the Herald reported.
