RE: FYI-Chris' Bad luck

[Guest guest]

Thanks for passing along the news of my " bee issue " Anita

 

My house is once again bee free <grinz>. Last year we had an invasion of

honey bees in our entryway (its a 2 story archway they decided they

wanted to make a home in the top of it). We had the local beekeepers

come to take the hive away, but because they were in the brickwork, they

were unable to remove the bees and sadly had to exterminate them. Well,

Friday they decided to return. We saw them in the entry way when we were

came home from some afternoon errands, so we went in through the garage

and called the bee keepers about it. Then I went into my kitchen and saw

a bee in there, then saw another bee in there, then I listened and hear

a very disturbing buzzing sound coming from the ceiling - which made me

realize that the bees were in the house. I grabbed my kids, got the heck

out of there and didn't come back until Saturday when we got the all

clear from the bee folks. The bees have been removed and have a new

home, not in my home!

 

The irony of it all - I was making candles with beeswax early in the day

on Friday (the 13th) - maybe they wanted their wax back *lol*

 

Anyhow - today I have to run all my errands that I didn't get to run

Friday and Saturday, and THEN I'll get back to e-mails and all that good

stuff - so please understand the delay if you're expecting

correspondence from me.

Chris will be out of pocket for a little while if anyone is looking for

her. She has a Bee problem in her house. They started swarming in

front of her house, then the attic, then into the house. They Chris,

hubby and kids,spent last night in a motel. The bee man is there now

doing his thing. She will be online either later today or tomorrow. We

were to go to Victoria today but alas she couldn't, and my car...the AC

is out. Going down early this morning would have been fine, but not

coming back later this afternoon. If anyone was trying to get in touch

with her, this is the reason you haven't heard from her. Are we sure

yesterday wasn't Friday the 13th<G>!

Hi Chris,

 

So glad to hear that your story ended the way it did without anyone

getting stung/hurt...

 

I had a similar situation. We had just finished re-siding the house/

putting in new sliding glass door/putting in some ceiling-to-floor

windows/learning stained glass making and putting in some

stained-glass windows.... and we had done it all ourselves.

 

Toward the end of our major re-modeling, I had torn my ankle up along

with a bunch on tendons/ligaments and was on crutches -healing. We

were bar-b-q'ing in the back yard and saw a bee go into a little hole

in the cinder-block on the house. My significant-other (being a

tuckpointer) promptly sealed the hole up with caulk -and we didn't

think much of it until 2 days later when I tried to escape the

invasion of bees INSIDE the house while on crutches!

 

Being the do-it-yourself'ers that we were, he found the holes that

they were getting out of inside the house and sealed them up also

(yep! caulk again!). We had found out that exterminators wanted to

tear out the walls to remove the bees/hive or use chemicals to kill

them... and after just having put all of the time/money/heart and

sweat into this major remodel.... we just could rip things apart.

 

Now I feel kinda bad that we were so heartless about the bees...
