Beefeated
August 22nd, 2008One Day These Things Will Rule the Earth
The bees have won. Just when I felt cocky about defeating the incredible ghost ants, I went outside and found that the bees in the chimney are doing very well, after numerous attempts to plug their escape holes.
I can’t believe how tough bees are. Any hippie who tells you we’re wiping out our bees needs to be punched in the mouth. Cockroaches are wimps compared to bees. I have killed maybe twenty pounds of these things, and they keep coming back. They’re like tiny Hillary Clintons with wings. And I don’t just mean the queens.
A nut who makes his living hacking up houses and removing bees has been called. This will be fun.
I should really take up beekeeping. How can I lose, with animals that refuse to die when you do your best to kill them?
