My adventure with bees.

Today I found a wasp nest tucked just under the top of my window frame outside. After attempting a few swats with a broom I apparently distrubed some of the nest and was chased down by two of them and stung by one. My bite is now about the size of a golf ball on my arm. I began to be fed up with these things and noticed the nest to be gaining size with each passing day. I called an exteminator but though to save myself the fifty dollar charge I would attempt to take care of the problem myself. I went to the local hardware store and when I thought it was safe decided to spray the nest; however because I was in such a need to get rid of these bees I forgot to completely shut my window and seeing as it is was 100 degrees here today. I’m sleeping on the couch tonight with my bedroom door shut because instead of killing the bees they just flew the other way, straight into my room. I’ll be calling the exterminator next time.

    Hey, -I just published an article “http://scienceray.com/biology/cicada-killer-wasps/” that is related (sort of) to your topic. Bees are kewl, -but I hate getting stung.
