*Heather O'Rourke voice* "They're Baaaaack..."

So, when I came home tonight I was in a hurry to grab some dinner, before going out to a meeting. I looked down when I was climbing the steps.
"Watch out for the bees" I said.
"Where?" said My Lovely wife.
"Down there"...and then I heard the humming noise and looked up.

Above me, in a corner rafter was a mass of bees about a foot wide. Right in the same place where they had made a hive last year. We bustled inside, and I changed while MLW called the management company. About the time I finished changing, and was considering whether I could duck around the bee cluster and get to my appointment, when I heard a deep hum. I poked my nose out the front, and sure enough, the entire swarm had arrived- three feet long, and surrounded by a swirling cloud of bees.

Fortunately, by the time I had to leave for my appointment, they had calmed down and dug themselves into the wall enough for me to slip down the stairs. But now once again, we have a swarm of wild, probably Africanized bees hanging close over our heads when we go down the stairs.

Yep- this sequel isn't any better then the first time around.

Sad news

The sad part is, the pest control folks say that they'll have to kill the bees. No smoking them out. :(
