This BEE a Situation

Hope you all had a lovely Easter! Mine was spent trekking to NYC to visit with mom, having brunch, and watching "Water for Elephants" (review later this week!).

Lucky for me, I had a vacation day today- woot woot 4 day weekend! I didn't have anything special planned, just needed a breather from work. I think the cold, rainy weather (when I waes expecting Spring) along with new projects at work (meaning more stress) and coworkers being major drama queens have been dragging me down a bit.

So this morning, I woke up late, and went outside on our 10x3 piece of concrete that our apartment complex calls a patio. At least there's room for a 3 chairs. So I was just sitting, sipping my coffee, and enjoy the warm weather, when I heard it:

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bzzzz Bzzzzzzzzz....



Yup. Bees. All over the beautiful white flowering tree about a foot away from my "patio." I really don't like bees. And *knock on wood!* I've never been stung. But when they come flying near, I have a tendency to... move to say the least. So my peaceful early afternoon was interrupted by me continuously jumping up our of my seat and away from approaching bees. I was staring at them, because I wanted to sit down, and I was waiting for them to leave. And then I noticed...they were entering a little hole right behind my seat and into the plastic frame of our patio window!!!

So I called C over (he had off today too, another incentive for me to take off!). "The BEES! They are entering our apartmeeeeent!" I loud-whispered. "Look!!" as another bee entered the hole. So he ductaped the hole. "But now we're gonna have dead bees in the frame of our window. And what if there's a hive? And what if they actually burrow into our apartment?!" (I realize that last one is highly unlikely, but still worth mentioning.) "Just let me know if you see an escape route" was his only reply.

Luckily he was still out there when I saw a bee entering another hole in the plastic frame. "BAM!" I yelled, and pointed.

C: Bam? Really??

Yes. Really. I don't like bees okaaaay?! Sheesh. So he duct taped that one too. And then found a maintenance guy who said he had to "call somebody." Whatever that means. But for the time being, at least the holes are blocked. This didn't help me any, however. Because other bees knew where they were supposed to go, so they kept coming back to where the holes were. And they kept buzzing around there trying to get in.

I didn't get to enjoy my morning coffee to say the least. Hmph.
