Family discovers ‘terrifying’ gigantic bee colony in wall of home with blood-like honey oozing down wall and $20,000 in damage
What? I first read that it was 60,000 bees in the wall, and now you say it’s 50,000? Next thing you know, some other rag’ll report it’s 40,000 before further investigation reveals it wasn’t more than 20,000 — and that’s before we hear from 10,000 poor, trapped bees themselves and find out it was really just a couple hundred drunk bumblebees trying to find their way home from the pollen bar. Pfft.
The first publication said over 50,000. Not sure where the other numbers came from.
The BBC said it was 60,000, but I was just being glib and referencing an ancient dad joke:
“What do you mean, you want to borrow $20? What could you possibly need $10 for? Why don’t you ask your mother for $5. Fine, here’s $1, now get.”
That’s because people just kept stealing 10,000 bees every time new people were involved. Gotta check their pockets and bags on the way out of the house else they’ll take your bees!
