Did your ghost just have a heart attack?

[Suu]

Clear ledge, actually. 

NOPE.

Twid,
Knows one thing he's not doing in Chicago in July.

They're stable as hell. You can jump and down on them with no problem.

I would be lying if I told you it didn't induce a mild panic attack though. I had no issue walking right out there. I even sat down on the floor and got the selfie...then I got the shakes for no apparent reason. They didn't stop until I scrambled off the balcony and sat down against a wall off to the side for a bit.

Today at lunch, I was a wingnut.

I sat there making horridly Blaze and or Addicting Info grade political commentary while watching the NFL draft. I had the server and her trainee in stitches.

Tuscon and Texas were fighting for my soul!

Don't care.

I went to the almost top of the Eiffel Tower (not the tippity top but the windowed off top).

Didn't care for it. Didn't like getting up there, and was happy to get back to the ground without any lethal thuds.

I'd rather dance with a bee.

I'd rather dance with a bee.

Been doing that all day, too.

I love bees, so the exterminator idea kinda rubs me the wrong way.  Given it might still be inevitable, there is perhaps something you could try during the interim, before administering any final solutions.

1). Choose relatively proximate neighbor - within throwing distance, just not directly adjacent  - one that does not always behave
2). Get bottle of wintergreen essential oil from local health food store.
3). Empty bottle on suitably porous yet integral medium (wadded-up PT)
4)  Launch projectile/carrier to target 1) - nighttime is preferable.
5) Cheers, welcome to the Biological Warfare Club

This can accomplish 3 tasks
A) Fuck with misbehaving neighbor
B) Move bees of their own accord.
C) Lots of fun!

Plus the oil has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects if it gets on you (DO NOT CONSUME).  It essentially is topical Aspirin: gets rid of pains.  I guess that's why they like it.  Handling instructions are similar to turpentine.  One fatality registered:  child overused topical application to knee for sport competition

-

OR, boil the whole hive (with bees) in a pot of water to use for next batch of Mugwort Beer.  Although that might not be vey nice, for the bees.
(ask me about other dancing critters, and I really couldn't say)

The wood bees aren't really the problem anymore. They buzz around you and try to front, but they're usually just curious and bolt.

...It was the fucking yellow jackets that came out of nowhere and chased off the wood bees.

I put peppermint oil on my screen door, and that seemed to have gotten rid of the wasps. The bees are still hanging around, but I already called maintenance about them. It's not that they will sting, it's that they're like termites, in bee form.

That reminds me I need to get a new coat of sealant for the balcony, thank you...  I don't know much about peppermint but perhaps the bees are attracted to it like wintergreen - unless it's just a selective wasp antagonist thingie (I can sometimes hardly tell the difference).

[Suu]

Bees at least have a purpose. Even wood bees pollinate.

[minuspace]

Wasps are scavengers of the worst kind.  They value what they steal more than anything else.

My housemate and my son built a deck today.

Awesome present!

Um, I am a professional worrier, so I'm gonna say your might consider putting some rebar caps on those HORRIBLE IRON SPIKES.
