I am deathly afraid of bees. No real reason, as I have never even been stung! DH is allergic (he says he's really not, that the one time he had a reaction, it was a fluke). I am allergic to every animal and I probably am allergic to bees - I just have to be stung to be sure.

Anyway, last summer there was one weekend I did not make it to the lake. THANK GOD!

My 5 year old niece was shucking corn on the deck. She dropped a piece. Then started screaming. She was stung in the face twice. Apparently, there was a hornet or wasp nest underneath the deck and she disturbed it. The rest of the bee family went after other family members. Seems eveyone that was outside at the time was hit. My uncle that was even down by the water (100+ feet away) got hit in the forehead! My grandfather got it in the lip and was incredibly swollen. If I were there that day, I probably would have had a heart attack. Thank goodness my BIL was not there that day also - he is severly allergic and is on venom shots now.

I also have bat and mouse stories, but that's probably for another thread!

I can relate to your story. Last year we kept getting wasps in our kitchen and could not figure out where they were coming from. We finally figured that they were coming in through the vent over the stove. DH check it and could see a nest at the top of the vent. When he went outside to double check, he could see them flying near the vent on the roof. He decided we really needed another fan over the stove anyway so he would just take that one out and put a piece of wood over it until he got the new one. When he tried to pull it out a whole section of tube was coming down with it and separated from the top section. So now the wasps had access to the attic area.

So he just left the vent in and was going to see about getting some one to take care of the wasps - yea right! That was last year and he has yet to get anyone to take care of it. He did tape off the inside end of the vent so no wasps get into the house, but who knows how many got into the attic.

Sunday I let the dog out and was standing outside for a minute with her and happened to see something on our bedroom window. I went down to see just what it was. A nice sized wasp nest being made by a couple dozen wasps.

So I went in and told my DH about it. While at Home Depot we picked up some spray and someone told DH to use it at night as they can not see in the dark. So first thing this morning while it was still dark, he sprayed it. He said he had to use about 1/2 the can of spray on it. Next he has to get in the attic to see what type of damage they have done up there.

Finally decided he better check since we are getting them again.

We usually have trouble with muddobbers making nests on our window frames, but the wasps are the worst. We have two cats and a white german shepard and the cats are notorious bug hunters. Especially our brat. She will sit and watch them and try and catch them. She loves watching birds too. She crouches down and talks to them. She goes nuts.

Hopefully the wasps haven't totally taken over the attic.

Delswife, hope you get rid of them all soon.

Uncle Kyle, sorry I freaked you out with my story. Next time I'll put a warning.

Meanlaureen, I almost threw up reading your story. They (the s word, I can't even type it) are a huge, huge phobia for me. Even reading the word freaks me out.

This thread really freaked me out, in between the laughter I read it last night but was still able to sleep

Unfortunately, this morning when I was driving the kids to school my foot started itching, and all I could think of was ALBINO CAR SPIDERS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I hate spiders! Nothing should have that many legs! And if a bee had landed on me in my bedroom, I'd have had a heart atttack and died. Oh the horror!!! And bees in the walls!!! (cue the psycho shower music - aaaaaaahhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH!!!)

Please say Del and found and removed the bees. Please!!

Laurie

If we don't get an update, someone is going to get "sunburn slapped"

 

[mickeyboat]

Yes Wobin, where is our update?

I too had a bee experience.

Everyone under the age of 18, please hit the "back button" now.

DH and I were in the bedroom and during an intimate moment, I was stung on the wrist by a wasp. DH was furious because, well... it killed the moment. He killed the wasp.

He was very concerned about me - I should say about my recovery time.

that must have been SO scary!

I too am allergic to bees (I carry an EPI Pen w/ me).

My 1st apt. had new windows put in & I "found" bees EVERY day. The mngt wouldn't beelieve me (sp intended) so I put the shrink wrap plastic on the window & sealed in the bees. Mngt sure was surprised to see the # of bees I had captured!

I also went on a Women's Retreat & found MANY bees in my room, they too were doing renovations. I WAS NOT, I repeat, I was NOT a happy camper. Still not too fond of going on retreats for some reason!

I'm sending you a (chocolate & ice cream can cure anything) & a big ol' dis board

give us an update when you can!
