The Bee Whisperer

I would look so cute in this costume.
It's funny how something can annoy you so much and when it's gone, you don't even realize it.  That is how we felt about the bees at our house.  All summer long we battled with bees building nests by our front door.  Linda only actually got stung a few times, but that is mainly because she ran the gauntlet every time she left or went into our house.  When the bees finally gave up after the last de-hiving attempt, all they did was move around to the back of the house and build their nest on our deck!  I wonder what people near St. George Utah are going to be facing after a semi rolled on the highway and dumped out 25 MILLION bees onto the road.  The trucker was carrying 460 hives when he crashed the truck.  He escaped with only bee stings and no other injuries, but the entire highway had to be closed because the bees were so enraged that workers could not get close enough to clean up.  I need to do some more research and find out if the road is back open and how them got the bees to obey.  They probably called in those crazy bee guys who whisper to the swarm and hypnotize them.
