if you hate bees and playground swingsets, then the anti-bee antics of the man seen in these photos posted on the something awful forums is the person to call. see, some bees decided to swarm & set up shop in a nearby swingset. and that doesn’t sit well with bee-hating human neighbors. so the neighbors devise fool-proof way to de-bee playground, getting rid of both the bees and the swingset swings. kaboom! scroll through the pics and enjoy. possible nomination for the darwin awards? yes.

so .. a thought. ever since a swarm of bees made it’s home inside one of the walls of my house 2 years ago (this is common for old houses i guess) i’ve been thinking about being an apiarist (a beekeeper, yo! raising honey bees ‘n shit). not with the bees in my living room walls - no. those bees were safely taken away by a beekeeper a while back. raising bees is just a thought. and also a damn fine reason to invest in a rad costume for my honeybee-raising business! hell yeah! but would raising bees on a rooftop or backyard be doable when i move back to SF, or any major city for that matter? apparently so. according to a study by a French beekeepers’ association, city bees are healthier and more productive than country bees. from the BBC news article:
Urban bees enjoy higher temperatures and a wider variety of plant life for pollination, while avoiding ill-effects of pesticides, the study said.
who knew? anyway, this news makes me happy.
