A little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000 bees (www.bbc.co.uk)

Had something similar. My bedroom was small and under the roof, and for some time I heard scratching noises at night over my bed. I assumed that were mice, so I set up some mouse traps in the attic. No success. The bait was gone, but none of the traps were sprung.

So, one evening when the noise got annoying, I went to investigate closely. And found a large wasps nests, right on the other side of the sheet rock of my bedroom.

This is why flamethrowers are legal to own in 48/50 US states.

I have a drone on offer up and some fool tried to convince me to trade for a flame thrower. Wtf am I going to do with a flame thrower? I guess I could vanquish my enemies... If I had any. People are weird.

It seems they had the same thought "Crap, what can I do with this flamethrower? Maybe I can trade it for that drone!"

[–] nednobbins@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

The obvious solution is to attach the flamethrower to the drone.

Jesus. That sounds eerily like my experience. Heard scracthes in the attic and thought it was mice. Woke up one morning with a dead wasp in the bed and having been stung. Thought nothing of it. Woke up a few days later with two dead wasps in the bed and having been stung. Huh, that's weird. Then when I woke up one morning I saw a wasp crawl between the planks in the ceiling. Called exterminators and they sprayed the attic. The wasps had built their nest in the isolation and had chewed through it down to the planks... The next week I had hundreds of dead (and a few alive) bees in the room every day and I had to sleep on the sofa..

Wasps are not bees.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm aware. I was just relaying my experience which was pretty similar.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I see. Your wording made it seem like you were conflating the two.

Ah, sorry for the confusion then :)
