killer bees

and i'm not talkin' 'bout those of the wu-tang persuasion. they have invaded our home via the chimney flue. the cast iron front hasn't deterred them. neither has the death of many of their brothers and sisters who have come (into our home) before them. today alone we have squashed and swatted and smooshed 15. fif.teen! we had five swarming our ceiling fan lights at one time. so, even though it's about a gazillion (give or take) degrees outside, we're nice and toasty with our freshly lit fire inside. wish us luck as we try to burn out those little striped buggers. and if the flames don't get them then hopefully the bee trap on the front porch will lure them to their sticky death.

  4. don't you know we're in a bee crisis right now??

    actually you can call the county and they'll come and remove the nest for free, for serious.

    unless they're all dead of smoke inhalation by now
