Are mobile phones wiping out our bees?

Anybody wanna come get the honey bees that are in the attic of a house that my team is painting? They come and go all day through a hole in the siding right by the soffit. Funny thing, the bee keepers here don't want them because it's too much work to get to them and there is a law that says the pest control people can't kill them. They will however sell me the stuff to do it myself.

This is the second house in a year that I have had to kill a huge hive of honey bees. In the last house, there was a honey comb about 4 feet wide by 7 feet long by 3 or 4 inches thick. The lady said it had been there for years. Took forever to kill those little rascals.

 

Got my pest control guy to do an "off the books" soaking of the pesky rascals. Interesting thing, he used termiticide on them. He said over the years that has proven to be the best thing in that it has a residual effect so that any that weren't in the hive when he sprayed would die when they came home.

I sure wish I had thought to call him on the last one. Took forever to kill those little bastids.

 

Heavens to Murgatroid!

I knew that martin lurked and would drop in at odd intervals and Spaghetti Monster knows I've been baiting him with material that I thought he couldn't resist . . .

But Bengal B! I thought he had teleported to the 9th dimension or something. I think he was actually High-Poster when he was abducted by aliens.

And the San Francisco Hippie has not overdosed on fresh vegetables either, apparently.

And the Cell-Phone Bee Depletion thread brought them out? Geez.

I expect TigerEducated or Pastimer to logon at any moment. If Wingman joins in, it will be creepy . . .
