Clearing the dead

July 19, 2006

I just vacuumed 100 bee bodies.

100.

One Hundred.



One hundred bees...from the inside of my apartment.

Not a conservative guess...I counted them all. 100. One HUNDRED.

Now...some of them were previously killed bees against the doorsill on my patio. But most of them weren't.

So even if I conservatively guess that I hadn't cleaned up any of the previously killed 36 bees...there were 64 new bees in my apartment today. And I know that I cleaned up at least two-dozen of the bee corpses.

64 new bees TODAY!!!!!!

I ought to pull them all out of the vacuum and put them in a jar to show the apt. manager. This is insane. Ridiculous. Unreal.

Now, oddly enough, the majority of these bees had already died or was dying on the carpet. Strange, maybe the commercial grade bee killer is actually working. Nonetheless, I torched a few just for good measure.

100 bees. Sweet fancy Moses, what's going on around here?
