Action has been taken.

The title of this post pretty much says it all, but I will give you the details. Lindsay and I went to see "The Village" tonight (which was the best movie I have seen in the theatre in quite some time... it was fantastic) and when we got back, we stormed the hive. Revenge came in the form of a huge can of wasp and hornet spray. I am proud to say that our harvest was bountiful.

This beesnest was not your run of the mill hive, it was a lair. There were two entrances to the cave, one on the side and one in the top, so I had to use a little bit of strategy. Lindsay stood guard to keep me covered. I began with the side entrance. I soaked down the perimeter of the hole and then sent a steady stream right into the interior. I held steady with this action until the buzz from within became a roar and the jackets began to fly out of the top. I then shot the stragglers out of the air and sent a cascade of chemicals down into the heart of the nest. I continued to drench the ground until I emptied the can. By that time, a deathly hush had fallen upon the scene. Nothing stirred except a few twitching bees that had crawled out the side entrance during the attack. Victory was ours.
