BOOK BUZZ? NO, THAT’S JUST BEES!
An author’s dream is to have a buzz going about her book, so should I take it as a good sign that I was finding bees in my house? Well, turns out that we had a hive in the house. Well, not IN the house. We found a bunch of bees inside in the loft, though, and couldn’t figure out how they were getting in. Turns out there was a hive up in the overhang way upstairs. So we had to hire a company that specializes in bee removal. A bunch of bees! They swarmed but luckily didn’t attack the guy, who was wearing a suit of some kind.
Last year was the year of the Sting for me. It kicked off when I got stung by three yellow jackets at a friend’s barn, and then a wasp got inside our screened-in lanai and settled on my towel where it stung me when I took it inside. Then I’m sitting at my own desk in my own office, working away and minding my own business, and I feel a sting on my neck. Now I know what those darned things feel like, but I can’t believe it’s really a sting and then a wasp flies off. Only a month later I stepped on a bee while walking on the beach. Then recently, some bees at a park were disturbed and decided we were the ones who’d stepped on their bee hole (Is that as opposed to their A…oh, never mind). Much screaming and running ensued without a lick of dignity, but I survived with only one sting.
I will say that I’ll take a bee sting over anything else, and thank God I’m not allergic.
Next time I’ll share our last encounter with nature–what we call, the Raccoon Event.
Cheers!
