Excitement at Chez Hollingshead

Perched on the ladder behind the almost completed shed, all I hear is a loud buzzing drone and Wayne yelling, "Get in the trailer. Now!" Thousands of bees or wasps were swarming in the pine tree beside our deck. It was one of the scariest things I've seen.

We think that we startled the bees while putting a big blue tarp over the shed. Wayne stood on the roof and perhaps got too close to the hive. Neighbours down the street could hear the buzzing. I thought a rerun of the World Cup Soccer was on a tv somewhere.

Ten minutes later all was calm. Wayne thinks there is a nest near the top of the pine tree. He sort of saw it with his binoculars. Must be about 30 feet in the air. Hopefully they stay there.
