Cars, Insects and Bees: Run for the hills

Run for the hills

By Stung - 03/08/2009 21:57 - United States

Today, I found out that bees like to make hives in odd places, like in your vintage car's trunk. I also found out that they don't like it when you break their hive in half when you open the trunk to get out a spare tire. FML

Today, I learned that bees like to get out of the hot sun, too. And that they do this by crawling into people's bed sheets. I also learned that these bees don't like it when you go to lay down in your own bed. They don't like it at all. Now it hurts to put weight on my right butt cheek. FML

Today, I was taking a break in my work truck when I saw a huge swarm of bees flying my way. I have a hand crank window so I started cranking it up as fast as I could and the knob snapped off before it closed and I got stung by the whole swarm before I could get out. FML

Today, I returned home after a three-week trip to Jamaica. When I opened the door to my room, I was greeted by a swarm of bees and their enormous nest, which was attached to my doorknob. Apparently, I'd forgotten to close the window properly before I left. FML

Panic on the streets of…

By Anstice - 05/10/2009 03:07 - United States

Today, I was at a stop light and a bee landed on my leg. I screamed and started swatting it. It flew into my jacket and I started to strip my jacket off, taking my foot off the brake. I hit the car in front of me and deployed the air bag, breaking my nose. Then the bee stung me in the back. FML

Today, the weather was nice so I decided to eat outside. I quickly found out that my new, expensive hair conditioner attracts bees. Lots of bees. FML

What do I get?

Today, I helped my parents out by tearing down the old, rusty swing set that's been in our backyard for years. Little did I know that there was a beehive hidden in the long grass, and I now have dozens of painful red bumps all over me. FML

Today, I visited my grandparents at their farm. When I went to pee in the outhouse, I noticed a round thing in the middle of the hole, so I peed on it. It was a beehive. FML

Bee Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo

Today, I woke up to the inside of my house covered in bees. Hundreds of them. I have been complaining about a bee problem to the HOA for two weeks, and their response has been, “The hive was taken care of." Well, a few hundred bees inside and a few thousand on my outside wall beg to disagree. FML

Release the bees!

Today, as I was sitting on my terrace, I was wearing neither bright colors, nor any perfume, yet two bees seemed convinced that I must've been some type of flower and persistently tried to figure out where I was hiding my nectar. FML

Today, I went to clean my roof when something buzzed by my head and a sting hit my neck. It turns out there's a small nest of, like, five hornets just chilling outside of my window. I found a dead one on the desk in my bedroom. FML

This shit sucks. My car has been sitting in my parking lot for awhile, and it's infested with bees. I tried getting into my trunk, and got swarmed by them. Luckily I didn't get stung. My recommendation is lots of Raid.

Exactly how did they enter the truck?

Wait, you couldn't hear the buzzing as you went to open the trunk? Was the car on? Was it otherwise noisy enough to drown out the sounds of thousands of buzzing insects? Are you hard of hearing? Did you not feel the vibration of their collector movements as you touhed the trunk? I am confused as to how you did not clue in of the presence of an entire hive of bees living in your car. The situation sucks, yes, but that does not stop me from being quite perplexed.

This could have happened at night. Bees normally don't buzz after sundown. Unless of course you accidentally smash their hive open.

It would have been at best a faint buzzing, and if I were in that situation I would look around for bees, but I would never suspect them to be INSIDE the trunk. Well, not until I read this at least.

they could have been on the freeway. when your stuck on the freeway u cant hear anything. and cars drive past ridiculously fast which in turn make your car move. which explains your confusions. its not unlikely that if the OP was on the freeway that they wouldnt have noticed.

Did you perhaps travel to Grandville for the vintage car show? or was that your intent before this happened? I ask because I was at said car show, and I probably have a photo of your car somewhere - I hope it was awesome and worth being kept in storage and not driven.
