Title: Nicname's house also home to huge swarm of bees! (now with pics!)
Post by: nicname on July 02, 2012, 06:43:21 PM
They were entering into the wall of the house near the front porch, I noticed them about a month ago and today the beekeepers finally came by.   holy crap, when they took off the siding to remove them it revealed a hive about 3 feet tall and 1.5 feet wide.  I got some free honey out of the deal.  It was pretty neat.

I took a pic or two and may post.

My dads garage had 2 16 inch stud spaces 10 foot tall packed with honeybees.  Waited until 0 degree day in the winter and ripped the siding off.  They all dropped out of the air after 10-15 seconds.  The honey tasted amazing though.

Vile beasts


True story, when we first found out I didn't know anything of the law and decided to "raid" them.  So while I'm spraying my gf pulls up and starts in, "oh, no! dont kill the bees its illegal!" 

So i'm like, "Oh crap!" and I start spraying water to try and save them.

Luckily it worked.  Funny thing is I'm pretty much a softy when it comes to killing animals so this was not the usual pattern of behavior for me.  Oh well.

It was the worst, scariest thing that had ever happened to me.  It took several years for me not to have near panic attacks around buzzing sounds

FattyFestFour and FattyFestFive would both work purely based upon alliteration, but I imagine someone can come up with something more creative than those by the time they roll around.

I don't understand how anyone that is older than 15 cannot have been stung by a bee. Get outside a couple of times a summer a take a few risks. I would also suggest you go get stung on purpose with a couple of buddies around and then you can find out if you are allergic. That would be a great plan....Bee Sting PAK.

Yeah, as much fun as that sounds, I think I will pass. I have lived by the "if you don't bother them they won't bother you" rule thus far and it has not failed me yet.
