Killer Bees!

Hummingbirds make a pleasant whirring sound as they fly around. Another creature that makes a (slightly less pleasant) whirring sound is the bee. (Nice transition from the previous post, right!?)

We've gotten up close and personal with a startlingly high number of bees in our home this week. Richard has become a pro at killing them with the latest issue of Reader's Digest. Every time he smashes a bee, he tears off the back page of the magazine. Guess I won't be finishing the book excerpt this month!

Yesterday, we heard a bit of a commotion outside, and I nosily sneaked a peak at what was going on. Turns out, some bees had decided to make their home in some duct work in our building. The bees were entering our home through THE VENTS. Just pause for a moment, and let that nightmare wash over you.

Thankfully, a friendly man dressed in a beekeeper outfit took care of the problem, and there are no more bees. Here's hoping they hadn't started making honey that will attract other creatures! (And that our complex covers that hole with some mesh!)
