For all I know, bee bed therapy could be the greatest thing ever. Maybe it really does do wonders for the body and mind. But personally, I’m skeptical. I can’t recall a single time when the sound of a swarm of insects has calmed me down and bees generally scare the crap out of me …

It Was Perhaps My Destiny To Be In Bees
This poor woman didn’t wind up getting stung nearly as many times as most of the folks who find themselves in this section, but when you get stung by a bunch of bees and your name is Honeycombe, things like quantity and severity matter a lot less than they normally would. Caroline Honeycombe, her sister …
Everything is Bigger In Texas, Including The Swarms
The usual hopefully Carin won’t scream too loudly in the office when she sees this sentence goes here. Fire department crews responded to a report of a bee attack and arrived to find “what appeared to be millions” of bees attacking two people outside and also trapping two other people inside the home. The fire …

Is There A French Word For Epinephrine?
If anything is going to help me get out of yet another posting drought, it’s going to be the need to make Carin aware that hundreds of bees recently attacked a bunch of people and that nobody quite knows why it happened. Several dozen people were injured – with three rushed to hospital in a …

I’m In Fish
If you’ve ever heard the term no-win situation and aren’t quite sure what it means, it’s this. Diving into the water to escape a giant swarm of bees is a perfectly sensible thing to do. The fact that the lake full of piranhas had other plans for you is out of your hands. The incident …
I Am Dead. I Am Also Literally In Bees
Since we have a bit of a thing about bees around here or perhaps just because I have a thing about frightening poor Carin with stories about bees, I feel it necessary at this time to inform you that the damn things have begun evolving into meat eaters. Please enjoy the rest of your evening. …
Did You Say We Needed Honey?
Once again, Steve sent me a story about bees that made me squirm. It appears a guy went grocery shopping, but when he came back to his car, the back seat was full of bees, and I do mean full. There were 15000 bees in the car who had just started to swarm. What amazes …
Aggressive Bee
And now, something ridiculous and silly, just because. The Aggressive Bee This is a rap about a mean bee. The song was inspired by an actual bee who used to dive-bomb me while I sat outside and wrote raps at my old apartment in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. I’m not allergic to bees, or particularly …
The Latest Buzz
I don’t have a lot of words. Just eek! Oh, and maybe beeeeeeees! Apparently there are some crazy aggressive bees in California and Arizona that no one would use in a bee beard.
