When I was younger, my grandmother had a bee's nest about the size of a soccer ball in the hedge right next to the fort my cousin, the two neighbor boys, and I built. While I was inside grabbing a snack, the three of them decided to use a lighter and an aerosol spray can (I think it was spray paint) to light the nest on fire... and the hedge.

Surprisingly, no one got stung and the hedge, while on fire near the nest, did not light up like a Christmas tree, so the fire was easily put out with a bucket of water. That said, I can't believe that it worked out that way, as it seriously defied the odds when dealing with bees and with plant life on fire in general.
