I drove my car into the pasture to jump-start my lawnmower. I left the car running while I went inside to get something. When I came back out, there was a swarm of bees (Africanized, for sure) around it.
So, I’m waiting for the Bee Guy to come and save my car from the Bees.
Oh, and it’s still running…
For sure, they have the taste for human blood. When you get your car rescued, try not to think about them hiding in the vents and attacking you while you drive down the freeway at 80 mph. Or the one the that most likely will get into your ear and lay eggs in your brain. That definitely probably won’t happen. Probably.
They will probably already have a hive set up in that nice warm car interior. Maybe you can charge them for using it, paid in honey.
I really love our house and the neighborhood, but the damn Killer Bees are real downside.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve had to have hives destroyed (at least 8-10) in the 22 years I’ve lived here. I’m really not anti-bee - if they weren’t so damn pissy, I’d be happy to co-exist. But, they are so defensive - anything with 50’ is considered a threat. I once had a hive WAY up at the top of a pine tree in the back yard. I think I posted photos of the comb that would come raining down when there was a windy day. Fortunately, the bee engineers must have received their degree from State, and the hive eventually fell apart and they moved.
Probably into my car.
I would just burn the car.
I feel for you… what a sucky situation… because they will be “hiding in the vents and attacking you while you drive down the freeway at 80 mph.” There’s videos on youtube if you feel that you may have something foreign in your ears, be sure to check out the video of the people who had maggots deep in their ears.
Bees are important for our ecosystem, maybe you should consider becoming a beekeeper, I hear if offers many benefits, including tax exemption to those working “agricultural land.” You’re not in NJ, are you?
Anyway, good luck to you and try not to swat at any one or several bees bc they will communicate it back to other bees who will come to help their bee friends kick your ass.
No, I’m in Arizona.
I don’t know if our Cowboy bees are better or worse than the Jersey Shore Guido Bees.
Yeah, no thanks. It can only be worse than my imagination.
Killa CowBees have rape in their eyes. Definitely get a professional.
I don’t like leaving my car windows down when it hot out for his reason ! That had to sucks . I had wood bees hold my deck hostage last summer , I couldn’t sit outside until the bugman came.
Did you get your car back?
The Bee Guy came out and found a YUGE (YUGE I say!) hive in the feeder of my mulcher, which has been sitting unused for years. He dusted the colony, and turned the car off, but said I should wait until after dark to retreive it. So, I rode my bike to dinner, and when I get home I’ll put on my jumpsuit and a hat and try to get the car without getting stung by the stragglers.
Then I need to dispose of all the comb…
Where’s Covered_in_Bees when you need him?
Exactly how do you pronounce your username? Are you also having problems with canis lupis? 
If I had to choose between Bees or Wulfs, I’d take the 4-leggers over the 6-leggers any day.
About to go get the car. I’ll post photos of the hive tomorrow.
Yes, please. I was going to ask for pics!
Well, it could have been worse:
I totally had this picture of beowulff’s car being driven merrily down the highway by a swarm of killer bees.
steering wheel bees: “BZZ BZZ BZZZ Guys! Shift! SHIFT! BZZ BZZZ Now, give it more gas! BZZ BZZZ”
Where’s Nicholas Cage when you really need him?
I just got back from the gym, and decided to see what the scene looked like during the day.
Not positive.
There are still plenty of bees, and they are clearly upset, and busy writing to their representatives.
Hopefully, the residual poison will kill them off in the next day or so.
Here’s a telephoto view of the hive:
Years ago, my parents woke up to a swarm of bees on their bedroom wall. Mom called their pest control company. Mom: “There’s a swarm of bees on our bedroom wall! Come right away!”
Pest control receptionist: “Oh, that can’t be a bee swarm. They wouldn’t do that.”
Mom wasn’t best pleased with her attitude. Suffice it to say, the exterminator came pronto. It was a carpenter bee swarm.
