Bee Troubles


Over the last few weeks Jack, the kids and I have been watching a bee colony increase in numbers with much concern. Yesterday we decided to do something about it. Jack got some bee spray at the local hardware and when dark fell, he did it. The buzzing was so loud we could hear it in the house and we could see hundreds of bees swarming out of the hive and then dropping to the ground. This morning it looked like total genocide! There was a carpet of bees all around our front door, but we could still hear alot of buzzing. We knew we had to strike again. I warned Jack that they would likely have some sort of strike team waiting by to take him down. He laughed, grabbed the spray and headed for the door. Only he was not wearing anything but his underwear. I told him he should put some clothes on. He nodded and grabbed his shoes... Now I'm not sure, but a man facing an angry hive of bees should be wearing more than a pair of underwear and shoes. I'm not sure if it's stupid, white trash, or a little of both. I do have to be grateful for his bee killing techniques because I got a serious laugh watching him barrel back in through the front door with bees coming after him! Not such a smart man, but definitely entertaining!

That is too funny. I about died when I stepped on all of them. I heard everything being crushed beneath my shoes!

Ha! The visual of Jack marching out to bee the savior and then running back in a medium panic must have been quite amusing. bee-ing a man on more than one occasion chase-ed by bees understands the picture at hand. REMEMBER THESE ARE PICTURE MOMENTS.
