Bee Gees & Sting
I guess there is pluses and minus to having over 60,000 bees living inside your walls. In Concord, N.C., a couples 100 year old house has been home to the busy bees. What tipped the man off was the dark spot he found on his wall. He dipped his finger in it and tasted the goo (why do people do that? taste things that they have no clue what they are or even smell rotten food?) Back to the story. Sure enough, it was honey. He called in the pro's and they tore the walls down and collected the hives. All but 1,000 of the bees were removed safely to a new home. "Oh, oh, oh, oh Staying Alive, Staying Alive." None of the bees were killed and the remaining bees will leave and find another home because the queen bee is gone. Only 4 of the bees stung the keepers. The other 59,996 were good bees-Gee, I wonder if the they had to call the Police during the removal? The plus side is that they have enough honey to last them forever, the minus is that they have enough honey to last them forever.
