They were in the basement today. I had to keep apologizing to the washer guy but there were no bees when I called them in!
Undoubtedly.
We tried to watch the one where bees are SUPPOSED to blow up a nuclear reactor - The Swarm, maybe? - we couldn't finish it because it just. would. not. end. It's one of the few we've actually given up on.
My old roommate had one of those hollow aluminum garage doors on her house, and some carpenter bees set up shop in it. My bedroom was immediately above the garage. I got unhappy about the bees in short order.
Yeesh, I don't blame you. Technically the bees are right below our bedroom as well, but we can't hear them - I don't think it's that big a hive, thank goodness.
I didn't notice unless I had my window open, and THEN? The rumbly-bumbly ECHOED in the hollow door. It was a creepy, eerie sound, and they KEPT COMING BACK.
Carpenter bees are solitary, but they return to where they were laid to lay their OWN eggs... multiply that a couple generations and it is a FUCKLOAD OF BEES. The really, REALLY big ones. O_o;;
On the other hand, they LOVED my rosebushes, so there is that.

I feel like there is bad movie potential here.
Didn't we see a bee related movie, incidentally? I feel like it was awesome.
