Our living room window faces the front of our house. About four feet in front of the window we have a low decorative wall. In between the window and the wall is a patch of dirt that we occasionally grow things on.
For the past month, we've had an overturned plastic garbage can sitting in the dirt, hidden from street view by the wall. My lil Shmoo and I returned from Target today, and as I was headed for the front door I noticed a bunch of bees over the dirt area.
There's a teeny hole on the bottom of the overturned garbage can. Apparently the bees got inside and have been busily building a hive. There are literally hundreds of the little critters flying in and out of that hole. We also keep hearing little thunks as they fly into our living room window.
It's amazing how we got so many so fast. Today is the first time we've seen any.
bees,
