Bee Swarms in the news
All right, I've seen two different "bee swarms" in the news over the past couple days. One was at a fundraiser, the other at a construction site.
Coincidence? Or the Cult?

Remember that episode of [I]Smallville[/I] where that girl uses her control over bees to off the competition in the race to become class president?
Me neither.

Don't you remember this part from Rant? It's all fun and games until children and senior citizens die. But if it means sitting at the adult table...
The construction site was an accident, by the way. The workers uncovered a hive while they were digging. But they didn't die.

Again, we admit to doing it. What more do you want?
I'd like get stung. Or bitten. No fair, man.

No way. You have to earn your stings. You have to make your way through the books. You need to burn yourself with lye, hijack a plane and fake your own death, start your own religion, choke yourself and have sex on a plane, shoot off your jaw and get gender-reassignment surgery. You need to have your guts sucked out and you need to eat human flesh, you need to kill people with a culling song, and you need to paint a masterpiece and burn down an island. You need to show us you're committed, and then, and only then, will you be bitten.
If you're really smart you can combine all of these into one single event. The current record is five events. Do you really think the pilots of the 9/11 event are dead?
I remember one time in school someone had told me I had a bee on my shoulder, so naturally I just plopped my head down on that side to shoo it off or kill, and I ended up getting stung
because of that I got to go home early that day too!
My pop keeps bees as a hobby. (He also built a still. The man is a god!) A couple of weeks ago I came by and there was a massive swarm of bees circling one of the barns. They looked like one of those cartoons where the bees swarm together and turn into shapes (hammer, fist, etc.) That's how densely they were flying. Like a huge twisting knot of bees. A few hours later, they had all disappeared into the four winds. It turned out to be 3/4 of the bees from my dad's hives. He seemed to think that it was just their natural cycle of "breaking off", where half of the hive will leave when it's become over-populated and take a new queen with them to start a new colony somewhere else or something like that. But I'm afraid it's that Colony Collapse Disorder and they were just flying away to die. Damn cellphones!!!:mad:

Yes, it was us. We harvested our collective bee-controlling skills and sent them to attack a fundraiser. We then rolled around with each other in a ditch, naked.
