Displaced Beachbums

Both FM and FG were not overjoyed with my post yesterday about the bee attack. FG doesn’t like to remember and FM thought it was bad mojo to talk about it. So it was strange when FM took the dogs out for a walk around 5:30 pm and got attacked by  “boonie bees”. These boonie bees look like small wasps to me because they are darker than regular honey bees and have a wasp shape. While on the walk, FM stopped to talk with the neighbor across the street and was standing near a palm tree.  One of the dogs must have brushed the hive and they went after FM, stinging him about 10 times, mostly on his scalp. He said the one on his lip hurts the most and feels like he just got a shot novocaine. Lovely, eh?

On the positive side, the neighbors have three young children and I’m glad FM found the nest rather than one of them.  FG had a chilly response when I told her what happened, she said “I guess you’re next, Mommy.” You can bet I’ll be checking carefully as to where the dogs stick their noses!
