Busy Bees
24 Jun
Recently we noticed a few bees here and there which managed to enter the house mysteriously and suspected a bee’s nest somewhere close by. Little did we know it was actually right inside the house. Since they were honey bees I did some research to find out whether it was possible to have the bees removed by a bee farmer and kept alive (as bee’s are precious to our environment). Unfortunately most of them were too far, and the one that I called that did it in our area was priced ridiculously high. We had to opt for the last resort which was to exterminate.
Actually the bee’s were coming in and out of a small crevice between the shingles and the bricks. We weren’t really expecting much because there would be about 30 bees flying around it at all times. The shingles had to be broken to see what was going on inside, and boy were we surprised at what we found. 11 honeycombs full of honey. We felt really bad about having to get rid of them but unfortunately they picked a bad spot to build a home! I have never before seen any real honeycombs in nature but they were aligned in perfect unison in rows. Truly awe-inspiring.
Closer look at the honey comb.

And how could we do a bee post without mentioning our very own busy bee shirt.
Thumbs up! Until next time..!
