Default Creepy!

I remember seeing a swarm of bees outside a travel agency I was going to, a couple of years ago. It was airborn, but like a huge cloud of smoke. I had to wait about 10 minutes until it drifted far enough away to exit my car. Wierd, in the middle of heavily developed Santa Clara, right off Stevens Creek.

Yeah...I don't like that. Nothing a few cans of "Hot Shot" can't cure...

Default An apartment building nearby...they're really quite docile. Honey bees are nice creatures

if you don't fvck them over badly (or hurt their mommy)...unlike wasps which seem more agressive in general. Plus honey bees are almost cute in comparison to the scary looking I-will-sting-you-for-my-pleasure wasps.

They're still there, and though they're buzzing around a bit, you can walk right up to them and check it out. Late last night I checked 'em and they were almost as slow at my TIP shifter...barely moving around at all.

Default Mother of...! I sent a friend the bee pictures, and his reply was this:

From last weekend near Coe State Park (Gilroy/Morgan Hill, CA):
