How do you not notice that?

Or how do you notice it and let it get that big?

I think they're collecting the honey and selling it on the black market. Or wherever you sell honey...

Hey yeah, why don't they seal off the attic, spray the entire thing with 10 gallons of pesticides, and be done with it? (That is if they're not selling the honey on the black market, of course)

Just head up to the attic in a bee keepers outfit. Grab your industrial shop vac. Suck all the lil buggers up, and your knee deep in sticky gold.

I vote for turning it into a jail. Put some tight strength walls there and force people to live up in the attic for the death sentence. Swat the honeycomb first, of course... Angry bees make for fun live television.

Loacal radio station had an interview with the guy today. Favorite comment was "Well, we'd been having problems with bees for a couple of years..."

Huh. Go figure.

That's really a sticky situation. I bet they really get a buzz out of that.

I hope that they will get to enjoy some of the honey. The best thing is that no one has got stung!

With children around, I would have gotten that hive taken care of long ago.
I wonder who they'll try to sue when the bees swarm on one of their kids.

The queen bee, duh.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

It said they didn't want to exterminate the bees. WTF?
