busy bees
As I write this I am sitting about 5 feet from a swarming, buzzing, nasty mass of African Killer Bees. No joke. They are right outside my window.
They weren't there yesterday about 6pm. I let the dogs out to potty and then we walked over to my in-laws for dinner. When we got home about 10pm, I let the dogs out and then put HOHO to bed. I let the dogs in and then did my usual OCD glance around the back yard to just make sure all the dogs were in and that none of the cats got out.
Right in front of me about 3 feet and just to the left of the door I could see a weird shadow. I turned on the porch light and it took me a minute to figure out what the hell I was looking at. It looked like a brownish, black bowl hanging upside down from the porch ceiling. Grumpy came to see what I was howling about and he's like "SHIT! IT'S KILLER BEES!"
I flipped out.
Grumpy was all checking it out and taking pictures. During the night it got pretty cold and now there are about 200 dead bees scattered across my back patio. But, there are still at least 500 hanging in their buzz bowl. It's nasty. They are dancing, and moving and flying all over.
The worst part is that I can't let the dogs out in the back yard. So now, every couple of hours I have to walk five dogs. That is super fun, especially when I have to take HOHO with me too.
Talk about getting dirty looks from your neighbors. So "Bee Keeper Kevin",is coming to smoke their asses at four. I can't wait.
