The Bee Story


We discovered this beehive last week. We knew about one that was INSIDE the shed, but this monstrosity was a new addition. It was larger than a basketball and it had been created in only a few short weeks. It was all honeycomb with the bees swarming around it. These were honeybees, however, and we knew they must be saved. We called a beekeeper and he came out in less than an hour to remove it. He charged us $5 to help pay for his diesel. It was really quite remarkable watching him take this down -- barehanded! I figured I could blog about how team players are like honeybees, but I think the moral of this story is to hire an expert when it comes to tackling something you know nothing about. Especially when it entails stinging insects.

The latest Ava-ism? Who is the wise green guy in the Star Wars movies? Toyoda, of course!
