Bees

    I don't want to feel compassion for bees. Last week. I knocked down a nest of hornets(?) from the eave outside our bathroom window. The small nest looked remarkably like a little sewing  kit we used to have. A  number of bees swarmed around the remnants of the nest for  a number of hours. I sprayed the nest with Hot Shot Wasp and Hornet Killer, but probably not a deadly enough dose, as I had to lean out the window and spray upwards. 

     The bees flew away, with several staggering back and climbing inside the broken nest. The next day, I scraped off as much of the nest base as I could. Again a few of the bees came back. Those loyal few are still here.
