Theres a vine that grows up the front of our house that needs cutting every spring, and today I thought I would do just that. But is seems that I was intruding into the territory of a particular bee, in fact a very large bee, that would attack anyone who intruded into its claimed terrain. I managed to get the ladder against the house, at which time I then realized that there was indeed a serious problem. Respecting the bees right to life, I had no choice but to shoot it, which was quite difficult since he was patrolling a fair amount of real estate. This was the best shot, and I sincerely hope hes elsewhere tomorrow. The vine must be cut.

Yup - I've seen this event! There was a gatherin' in the middle of the field - and then the convicts commenced-a-tossin for odds - and then there was a great big convict who was a buzzin' overhead - a'sayin'that there was a intruder in the home court - which meant that a serious tail-kickin was in order!

Yep PC, a damn BIG bee. He was still there today. The ladder is still against the house, and the vine continues to grow into the roof. I hope we reach an understanding.... Wolfsnap - take care dood!
