Can you say "buzz, buzz?"

Mommy and Daddy love relaxing Sundays. We set out to have one today. After breakfast we played outside and watered all the plants. I love helping water the plants. Daddy went to his shed to get something and noticed a few bees were hanging around between the wall of our house and shed. Mommy and I went to check them out and Mommy estimated that there were 30-40 bees. Mommy thought the bees were going into a small crack between the bricks and the wood. We continued on with our day by getting stuff done around the house, also known as cleaning. I love to say, "I cleaning:)". While I was taking my nap, Mommy worked on the computer. While in the computer room she thought she heard buzzing sounds. She got closer to the wall and sure enough she could hear bees inside the wall. Mommy quickly had Daddy come and listen to the busy bees. Mommy and Daddy then decided what should be done about our new house guests. Cousin Garrett stopped by and said that we probably have more bees then we think. Daddy thought about spraying the bees, but it would be hard to get to them. Both Grandpa and Poppy thought they could just spray the bees to get rid of them too. Mommy wasn't too crazy about anyone messing with the bees in case they were Africanized bees. Mommy and Daddy decided to call the professionals. Within an hour the bee man showed up to help us out. He decided that he would have to drill a hole through the roof to get to the bees. He told us that if we really wanted to hear buzzing then we should listen while he kills them. We did just that and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner on high running on the wall. By 8pm our bee problem was resolved. We had over 8,000 bees in our wall! The bee man said we were lucky that the bees hadn't found there way into our house through the ceiling fans and lights. Mommy is glad that we had a professional take care of them. We also found out that they were Africanized bees. There wasn't any honeycomb which means that the bees had either gotten in the wall last night or early this morning. That seems crazy to Mommy and Daddy! This day turned out to be a little crazier than we had planned, but now we have a story to go along with our day!
While waiting for the bee man, we watched the beginning of the Miss America pageant and I was pretending to walk on the catwalk with my fun accessories:).

After Daddy took my picture, I had Mommy and Daddy pose for a picture. I am becoming a pretty good little picture taker:).

If you look closely, you might see a few bees flying around in this photo. Look towards the bricks and the black specks are bees.
