B: 10,000 Uninvited Guests

When you have a new baby, you expect a few house guests.  It did however come as a surprise when we got home from the hospital and the baby's room had a few dozen bees in it.  Apparently while we were out, a swarm decided to move into the wall cavity through  a small hole that I had opened up on Friday....


 


Dude opened the wall up and vacuumed the bees up. He then tranfered them all to a new hive which is next to the house right now waiting for all of the bees to return for the night. If the queen is in the new hive, all of the bees will go find her and we will be bee free when the guy picks them up tonight. If he missed the queen, then the fun will continue!

Wow, that takes the cake in the "fun house surprise" category. I really hope he got the queen.
