My neighbor keeps bees (and we tend to find one or two in our house from time to time), so I find all of this just a little bit more hilarious/nightmarish than others might.
2 or 3 times in my childhood, a bee swarm took up residence in the yard of the house I grew up in in Houston. My dad constructed a "bee suit" (full body sweats, shield mask, gloves, etc. so there was as little exposed flesh as possible) and embarked outside with several cans of high power bug killer. Cleaning up the dead bees (particularly the time they swarmed in the wooden enclosure around the jacuzzi) was perhaps even nastier.
A stinging defeat for Lv.
ReplyDeleteWhich was odd, given how much buzz Lv had entering the competition.
ReplyDeleteI literally started shivering just looking at those pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is nightmare fuel.
ReplyDeleteSo your preference is ... not the bees?
