Bzzz bzzz

A huge swarm of bees flew by my mango tree one day and decided that they were going to live there…

See the black patch on the tree?

It’s the bees!

It was rather intriguing cos they weren’t stuck on the trunk at all, just hanging from one branch, all of them climbing on top of another. I spent that morning spying on them with a pair binos (while getting the chills up my spine…)

The exterminator finally came by to clean it up…

He wore a funny spaceman suit and had me and my neighbours close our doors and windows. Then he got down to work…

Check out the video here

This video isn’t very clear but the moment the spray hit the swarm, the bees flew off and encircled the surrounding areas, before they finally fell to the ground and died.

What a way to go…

    Imagine you trying to build a house to live in and then along comes some alien and sprays you to death.

    I’d have left them there… then can get wild honey.
