The charming habits of bees
April 10, 2019 8:13 AM Subscribe
What was originally thought to be an eye infection turned out to be something far worse. Instead of treating an infection, doctors at the University Hospital in Taiwan were shocked to find four bees embedded in the eye of a 29-year-old Taiwanese woman named He. The bees were reportedly feeding on her tear ducts under her swollen eyelids, according to CTS News.
I was on the fence before because they're sort of responsible for our food supply and whatnot but now I've decided that bees are total assholes.

Nothing of tears that doth well,
But doth suffer a comb-feat

Oh, *Sweat* bees. Well, that's... uh, no,, still not O.K. Sweat bee story: I was out in the woods in one of the southern states. I was watching some ants foraging and running around on a dusty spot on the ground. Enter sweat bee, stage up. zooms in, hovers about a half inch off the ground, kicking up dust like a teeny-tiny helicopter. "That's cool", I thought. Then it zips over and starts harassing the ants. For scale, imagine what it would be like if you were going about your daily business and suddenly a bald eagle started dive-bombing you, pecking at your head, scratching at you with its talons, and staying just out of reach. That's the kind of thing the ants were experiencing from this sweat bee. Nature, go figure.

My biggest phobia is bees, after a bad super-strong reaction to a sting as a child.
My biggest body-horror trigger is anything involving eyes, to the point that I can't even watch someone putting in contact lenses.
I just looked at that link description and recoiled so hard that someone at their desk three cubicles away looked over and asked "are you okay?"

When I was a kid my dad tried his hand at beekeeping and setup two hives near our house in rural Texas in our peach tree orchard. Specifically, four dumb meager trees that produced three solid-as-a-rock peaches over 7 years. I vividly remember the smell of fresh paint, wood, and wax as we built the hives and frames from scratch in our house. It turns out beekeeping is hard, or at least it was for my dad, because he would use the phrase "God damn sons of bitches!" when actively beekeeping.
The bees had all kinds of problems, mainly ants. Dad simply couldn't keep the fire ants away from the bees who were defenseless against their tiny stingers. Even after setting the hives in a tub of (what I remember to be) black oil, just a single blade of grass growing to touch the hive meant certain doom. Eventually the queen bee said F THIS NOISE and she left, which meant the hive followed.
But luckily the bees did not move far! In fact, they moved into the wall of our house! The wall of my very own bedroom! I vividly remember placing my ear against the wall next to my He-Man poster and hearing the industrious buzzing bees building their new house, only feet from where I slept. When my dad found out he said "God damn sons of bitches!" and started rummaging around in the shed for some tools. He emerged outside of my bedroom window wearing his beekeeping helmet mask thing and holding a caulk gun.
In just 2-3 quick squirts the problem was totally solved! The bees would be forced to live out the remaining hours and days of their dark life entombed inside my bedroom wall. Dad had such a smart plan. What could possibly go wrong? Well my friends, it turns out that when you're a tiny insect suddenly trapped in a cramped space with your 2,000 enraged bee siblings, shit gets real. The bees, desperate to escape, began looking for any way out into the open skies, and sometime late that night they found it: a crack in the inside of the windowsill. A CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWSILL.
Waking up in a bedroom full of bees as 6-year-old child is just as delightful and exciting as you can imagine. I don't think a film could do it justice. Do you go under the covers and hide? Do you run out screaming? No, you do what I did: scream "God damn sons of bitches!" before dying instantly of fear.
Somehow my ghost ran out of the room screaming and dad went and rummaged around in the shed and came in with a canister of flying insect poison and a caulk gun and proceeded to seal off and fumigate my room. Cool. BUT. BUT GUESS WHAT. My intensely curious, undeveloped, and objectively useless child ghost brain suddenly had a totally moronic thought: just what is going on inside my room? What do all the dead bees look like?
And sure as shit I snuck off from the breakfast table and tip toed b-a-r-e-f-o-o-t back to my bedroom and cracked the door open to look for bees and... nothing. No sound. No flying around. Everything was totally safe again. So I proceeded to walk into the room to play with my toys and was instantly blinded with pain as the bees stung all over my damn little boy feet as the writhing poisoned bees exacted their final revenge, killing me a second time.
But I'm not bitter or anything.

Do we want the Candyman? Because, seriously, this is how we get the Candyman.
I've been thinking about seeing if anyone wants to host some hives here, and this post doesn't really change that. We already have a whole bunch of different kinds of bees and wasps kicking it off for spring and I'm actually glad to see them. We have a lot of big, fat bumblebees and what appears to be a wild european style honey bee - or more likely there are kept hives on one of the nearby farms.
I've only had to shuffle a couple of bees out of my little shed because I like to keep the door open or cracked when it's nice out.
And really soon now there's going to be about a billion blackberry, blueberry and salal flowers to pollinate.

I had a similar experience to colossal, only we didn't court the bees by keeping them, they just showed up in the wall of our house (and ok, thinking about it also they were wasps.)
Anyway apparently they got sprayed, and the first I found out about it was when I opened my bedroom door to see a sea of dead wasps in the corridor. They had apparently attempted to flee, and then died, leaving me trapped in my room by the wasp apocalypse.
I sensibly went back to bed. My brother stood on them.
