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.
