As if police and ambulance personnel don’t have difficult enough jobs already…
Pfff! Honeybees. We have Africanized bees in the Southwest US and they are here to stay. It has become the norm in that police won’t even respond, they just say to call an exterminator.
One time we took in a local alarm for a tree fire. Upon arrival, I had the engine head down the street several hundred feet, and got on the PA system to tell people to go inside their homes, close doors and windows. The Einstein whose tree was burning decided to evict the paper wasps who had built a sizeable condo. Using his sons bow and arrow, he wrapped a kerosene soaked rag around the arrow shaft, lit it and fired into the hornets nest. The insects were predictably displeased. We put the wagon pipe in service and lobbed water at the tree from a distance. Stupid people tricks. :rolleyes:
A guy never passes up a chance to be Rambo.
Never.
If using the phrase “band name” weren’t so tired and lame , I’d use it right now
Well, I guess you can’t really blame the bees. Imagine being packed in a dark, bumpy truck, then a big bang, and then watching your pretty hive smash all over the floor and the precious honey oozing all over the place. Then guys come and try to take them away? I would sting. I would be pissed off, and I would sting mercilessly!
Outside our balcony, a small colonly of bees have made a nest under the eavesthrough. We call them our Bee Buds. They’re totally non-agressive and don’t care if we’re out there, they just go about their business. Sometimes one on it’s way back from nectar-gathering will zip over and hover in front of our faces, inspecting us, and then go back to the hive. One time I was washing the windows and a pair came over and must have hovered there for a couple minutes, looking at me, then at the window, then at me again, and then back to the window, like they were saying, “Hey, whatcha doing?”
I like our Bee Buds.
