As a gardener, I love the idea of bees in my garden and yard and am very well aware of the plight of honey bees in the US. But this is ridiculous.
I stepped out on the deck after lunch, and heard this incredibly loud buzzing. From prior experience, I started looking up and to my horror saw this huge swarm on the highest corner of my roof. There were more bees on the way as you can see here.
They have since either found a hole in the wall thanks to the woodpeckers, or are making plans to leave as their number has diminished somewhat though there are still a lot of them.
The ominous thing is that when I ran upstairs and checked the area below them, I found a dead bee on my bed. Think they might already be in the walls!
I called The Bee-Treiver and he will come tomorrow afternoon to take a look and make recommendations. The walls will have to be opened like we did on the other side, but this time from the inside...oh my god! What a nightmare. I will have to look for photos of the previous event on the other side of the house.
Yikes.
