Buzzzzzz

Have you ever watched "Billy the Exterminator"?  I remember one episode he was called out to a house with a bee problem.  He removed a section of the outer wall of the house and uncovered a 6 foot tall active bee hive.  I had a flashback to this episode last week when I came home from work.

For a few days I had been coming across random dead bees by the windows.  Sometimes the sliding door doesn't get closed all the way, so I didn't think much of it.  A bee or two must have flown in the house.  We have a ton of flowers blooming around the house at the moment.  Well, Tuesday afternoon when I came in, there were 2 bees buzzing in the dining room.  I went to the bathroom and there was one buzzing in there.  While I was in the restroom, Michael came home from work and he heard the buzzing in the wall.  Houston, we have a problem!

He went outside and saw a million quite a few bees flying in and out of a teeny, tiny hole in the brick.  I could hear the loud buzzing in the wall and started to panic, just a little. I could picture there being a huge hive in the wall and we were going to have to call Billy the Exterminator!  I wondered if he would come all the way from Louisiana, and how much that would cost.  While I was plotting how to get Billy here, Michael went outside and started spraying the hole with roach killer.  I googled bee infestatations, Michael went to the hardware store to buy wasp & hornet spray.  I told him the complicated process for removing the bees and that we were going to have honey seeping through the walls, he sprayed the hole again with the new bug killer.

The next day, there was no buzzing.  There were no bees.  There was no honey seeping through the wall.  I guess when the husband says he's "got this", he means it.  Who knew?
