there are hundreds of bees swarming in my backyard.. how do i get rid of 'em? oh.. and now i went to take a look and theres a huge chunk of a bee hive on the ground with bees all around... i cant seem to find where the origin of the hive is .. anyways, called animal control, and they said to call vector.

there are bees in my yard still.. the hive is all over the yard as if somebody knocked it off the tree (i cant see where it originated from). now the bees are disoriented and are flying around, dying on the concrete. the crazy ants that occupy the underworld of my house are eating the bees. bigger bees are now emerging and swarming around the house. we called vector, but only to leave a message on their machine. its real-life evolution in my backyard. survival of the fittest at its best. whats next???

so apparently some guy from vector (la county bee guy) came and took a look at our bee infestation. he took away parts of the hive, then noticed that there is a HUGE hive in the tree. there are THOUSANDS of bees in the tree, and on the ground are MILLIONS of ants eating the fallen bees. the guy is gonna come back tomorrow with another guy to take down the hive.

today they came and sprayed the bees.. they seem to have gotten mad and theyre swarming the whole area.. they said theyd be back tomorrow to pick up the hive and make sure theyre dead. pretty cool.. and the ants are eating the bees still.
