The "Bees"- Sounds Like an Alfred Hitchcock Movie!






























Or if your too young to know about Alfred then how about Wes Craven! Anyway, Saturday afternoon Phil, Missy and I were out "pimping" (Phil's terminology for out driving around!). We ended up close up by Mike's house so gave him a call to stop by for a quick visit.

He had been working in his backyard and was getting ready to hang out in his spa for awhile. He had mentioned, last weekend, that he was having some more problems with bees hanging around the spa. Two years ago we both had major problems. Anyway, as we sat there Mike grabbed a sponge to wipe away some stuff that was oozing out between the redwood slat siding. It was honey! To have that much honey oozing out we figured that there had to be a huge honeycomb behind there. Phil and Mike took the siding off on the end that was leaking and the pics show exactly what was found!!! Leave it to Phil to do something bizarre! Mind you, Mike has been spraying bee spray up into the cracks for a week now. But when Phil took a big handful of honey out of the housing area he couldn't help but to try it! What am I going to do with him. He said he figured though that the spray didn't penetrate that far into the honeycomb! Let's hope not!
