Straight out of a horror movie-The Bees
During the EXPO one of our neighbors came by and said he needed someone to do some work on his home. Apparently a colony of bees had invaded his attic, through a woodpecker hole, and had caused so much damage the bees were coming through the walls!
When the bees make their hives it makes a sort of moist air conditioning system powered by the bees fanning the honey to keep it from melting. I was completely amazed at how much damage they had done, until...
My sister's father-in-law came by and said, "Hey, did you guys notice that swarm of bees outside of Meghan's bedroom window?" We looked up and a huge pile of bees about a foot square were just hanging out under the eave. So this morning I called Beebe's, the guy came out with full bee battle regalia on and, how do i put this delicately? Killed thousands of bees!!! There are dead bees everywhere! Now that the bees are "sleeping", we will have to have Beebe's back out to remove the hive, honeycomb and honey which will start melting out of the hole now that the bees aren't there to cool it. Remember, they get into your home by way of cracks and holes, MAKE SURE TO PATCH THOSE WOODPECKER HOLES, ASAP!
