An encounter with our little alien friends
As I pulled into the driveway from work this evening, I was accompanied by a traveling swarm of BEES. Bees bees BEEES!
I usually pull into the driveway, park, go grab the mail, then swing back by the car and grab the Backpack of Doom and carry it all into the house. Today, I got the mail and heard a buzzing sound. I thought the air conditioner was making noise, but then I SAW the BEES bees BEES bees BEES and jumped back into the car, where I called Chris and told her to take roll and keep the cats in.
About ten minutes later the bees all settled on one of the trees in the front yard, and I was able to come in. We looked up "bee swarm" and discovered these bees are likely a traveling swarm. If they move along, fine. If not, we'll have the bee guy out tomorrow, because our yard is a big old bee cafeteria. Lots of flowers.
We then proceeded to the Irish pub for dinner. We got back just before full dark, so it's too dark to see if the swarm has moved along. I'll do that in the morning; hopefully the bees have moved along.
