Bees!

So, the honeybee is kind of going extinct and its very important to plant lots of flowers that naturally attract bees. So, like a good homeowner, I do this. I have lots of colorful flowers, a full garden and lots of lavender. So why was I so shocked when I saw the above on our shed?! And inside my tepee pole was another honeycomb nugget. I felt like a horrible environmentalist when we knocked em both down. But what were we supposed to do??? If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears. Maybe a proper bee hive is in order....

*Um, apparently those are wasps. Thanks Jon.

Gah! Wasps! We had a problem with them doing that around our yard too, although not on such a large scale. That would have freaked me out. Actually I had a major scare last week when a snake was in my yard! It was literally slithering right toward Kara on her slip & slide. It was around 3 ft long, and come to find out it was a California King snake. I about died.

YIKES! Yeah I was just about to say, those look like wasps! I would have gotten rid of them too, they are scary and hurt like a BITCH if you get stung!

I totally would not have realized those were wasps, either, even though they build nests on our house every year. The buggers deserve to have their nests destroyed. Death! Kill! Maim!

Those are paper wasps & we also have a problem with them at our place. Somedays we can't even go outside on the patio because it is SO bad. Don't feel bad about knocking them down. They will be back the next day. We've been dealing with this for like 4 years and every year it's more of them and they are move agressive. I kid you not they chewed holes in my window screens.
