Bee Extravaganza!!

Over the last two days, Amy and I have been bee exterminating with our nets and shovel! First, we would catch the bee in the net and put it quickly on the ground. Then the catcher of the bee holds the net down, and the non-catcher smacks the bee with the shovel until it's dead. Yes, it may sound strange, but it was adrenaline filled fun! Oh yeah, I forgot to add the part that we were catching and killing these bees because Pookey got stung on the foot when he was walking on the grass. So we're planning to give the 80+ bees that we hand killed, and the dead bees in the traps that we put ham and bacon grease in! Thanks for the exterminating fun, Amy!! Love you all! Xoxo

Hi Sweetie!
Those bees are so pesky and aggressive! I took on a hornets hive at our home in Spokane with wasp/hornet spray (in the middle of the night while they were in the hive). It was a "run for your life" moment but they had built the nest in our fireplace box on the gazebo and tried to sting anyone who walked by there.

Aggressive bees lead to aggressive removal measures!

Love you so much and miss you!

That certainly does sound like an adrenaline filled process!
There have been so many bees this summer...thanks for eliminating some!
I love you :)

Hey KK,
Mackenzie got stung on her foot at the neighbors a few weeks ago, now she is paranoid about bees! Happy hunting!

I wouldn't want to assassinate bees with anyone but you!

I love you!
