Ok, so not exactly covered... but what's with all the Bees?
Two weeks ago, a bee appeared on my living room carpet. No idea where it came from. Didn't make a noise, just appeared. Under Adrian's leg.
After a small amount of shrieking, it was despatched to the cold January air, and I thought no more about it.
Until this morning.
Lying in bed, snuggling and reading because I was awake and Adrian was still gently snoring, when I heard something.
Bzzz.
Bzzzz...
"EEeeek"
I put the book down and stopped, still.
"BZZzzz...!"
Slightly worried, I peered over the side of the bed.
There, on the floor, was a Bee.
"Bee!"
"huh....?"
"Beee!! On the floor! BEE!"
"wha...?"
Long story short, he rescued me from the bee, herding it gently out my bedroom window.
What I want to know, tho, is:
How did it get onto my bedroom carpet, given that there are no windows open in the house, and my bedroom door is closed?
To that matter, how did the other bee get onto the living room carpet (and into Anna's house)?
Aren't bees supposed to be dead or hibernating in the winter?
Is there a conspiracy of teleporting stealth bees, stalking bloggers in order to gain publicity for their plan to take over the world?
Given that I'm allergic to bee and wasp stings, why don't I have an Epipen?
1) Get an epipen.
2) Do these blogger-stalking bees give new meaning to lurking?
3) Get an epipen.
4) Good to see it admitted that men have their uses. Yay us!
5) Get an epipen.
6) Maybe they are just alien-bees on a reconnaissance mission. Think about it. Makes sense to me.
7) Get an epipen!
Hmm. I think different internet elements of the insect world have a pact to take it in turns to make blog-headlines.
It was spiders before.
Now bees.
I think that the reason they're on the floor and not say, buzzing around your head and up your nose is because they're cold. I have no idea how they've survived so far, but I suppose bee must survive the Winter somehow, otherwise there'd be no bees.
Also, Hurrah for Eddie Izzard.
Yes, I haven't seen a spider for ages. They're so last season.
Go bees! Bzzzzz ....
