Hmm, first the new Candyman trailer and now this huge hive, there must bee a connection…
More buzz for the new movie?

frightening discovery
Of all the things I’d be afraid to find in my ceiling, a massive beehive is actually the least worrisome.

big enough to support 100,000 to 150,000 bees. But he said it wasn’t fully occupied
Melittologists speculate the low occupancy is due to the hive being developed primarily for non-honey bees looking to launder money from overseas in an untraceable manner with no intention of ever living there.

Meanwhile it’s been more than four years since I’ve been able to keep a colony alive past early winter. I might need to rent that apartment.

For a while I’ve been addicted to the YouTube videos of folk who rescue beehives from structures. They do all they can to keep the hive viable.
Bush Bee Man in Australia is a great one.

You’d have thought that many bees would be fairly noisy but in any case the place must have reeked of honey.

It’s challenging and takes a great deal of stamina; but if you can waggle-dance The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen to the hive convincingly enough you can preserve the hive as a revolutionary republic instead.
Sure, you’ll probably find the headless corpses of any drones that were present scattered around within a couple of weeks; but you can’t make an omelette without killing a few people, as the would-be chiefs of history like to say…

we had an infestation some years ago in a cottage styled women’s saloon it was quite a big item probably several thousand of the insects but you could hear the buzz
I once worked for a hotel on the coast and the had cricket infestation but the owners did not seem to mind …well probably not but who knows what you could find behind closed doors… I feed some of them to a local animal home

I’m allergic to bees so this is terrifying— like finding a nest of cobras in your ceiling. I know we all need bees, but I admit they scare me!

I’m still not convinced this isn’t a staged publicity stunt for the Candyman reboot.

Understandable. If my ceiling were full of peanuts, that would be hilarious (and highly confusing). But if I had an allergy, it would be legitimately terrifying (and also, still, highly confusing).

Is this some sort of Candy Man viral marketing news or something?
