Attack of the Killer Bees (sort of)




To make our Thanksgiving week more exciting, my dad, my brother, Josh and Julia's good friend decided to clean up the remoldeling mess that has been piling up on the side of our house. They were doing such a wonderful job and finishing up when my brother noticed something in the tree. He didn't remember cleaning anything yellow and thought it was strange that something would end up in this tree that they had been walking under for over three hours. He got a closer look and realized it was a beehive wrapped around the branches. Now of course being the men that they are they decided to cut it down and kill it before it harms anyone else. They filled a trash can up with pool water and placed it below this hive. Nick ended up clipping the branch, while josh was in charge of putting on the lid of the can. They both bolted for the pool and Josh ended up diving in head first. We got the whole thing on video and it was quite funny. The bees came after those boys and it looked like it does on Berenstein Bears, where there is a huge clump of them chasing after these two. We all had great laugh but it was a very nervous little adventure. Here are some crazy pictures of the hive.
