When we moved into the new house (3 weeks ago), we quickly realized there's a HUGE problem with bees and wasps. The bees are gigantic, too. Not just little honey bees or whatever. They like to hover right around us and are DOZENS of them right outside our front and back doors...I guess they love the cedar siding of the house and the wooded areas around us (according to the neighbors!) and swarm this time of year. It makes it a little scary to try to eat out on the back deck or play with bubbles in the front yard.
Now back to the former tennis star...
Easter morning, Adam had a great idea to get out the old gear and show those bees who is in charge.
The first day he killed about 5, and we're killing about 1o each day!! It's getting easier...and fun!
I mean, look at that thing!
Now we're out with the racket EVERY DAY. Our new neighbors laughed at us a little the first day, but yesterday....FRANK next door had one, too. He yelled over "thanks for the great idea. This works better than any bee spray AND I'm working on my backhand!". Glad to see we're having a positive influence on our neighbors!!

I've known Adam for almost 10 years, and I had no idea he played tennis. What other secrets is he hiding? Is Adam really even his name?
Is he going to use the bee's honey for a new flavor of the home brew?
That's so funny. Kill the bees, and get a work out! And, make a few friends at the same time. Great way to get to know the neighbors - just meet outside for some bee tennis together.
I think this might be how Dahmer got started...keep an eye on the neighborhood cats!
ha! re:Paul... good idea on the bee honey, I'll ask him. Did you really think we were in the NAVY?! Nope, that was code for "Witness Relocation"...why do you think they kept moving us?! Maybe his name is Adam, maybe it's not...
I'm going with the 'relocation ' program--I never did find him in the UF alumni directory....
