no! i can't run the risk of letting bees come to my house once again! just spotted one that invaded my living room and when it flew out i quickly shut the windows. the air feels like it's thinning, definitely. gasp. lack of oxygen. what will the haemoglobin in my body bind to? nothing?!! oh gosh. -_- still surviving~ cos all the other windows are still opened, geez.
let me tell you why i'm so afraid of bees. or are they wasps? hm should be bees cos they aren't that big to be called wasps. ok anyway, it's like this...
one fine sunny day, while i was watching tv, this flying creature made its way to my living room. **buzz buzz** oh. new friend huh...welcome! then it flew under my study table which i don't use anymore. it piled up with books and papers and files =X so it stayed there for some time while i continued watching tv. after ten minutes or so, it left! so bye!
the next day, at about the same time, it came AGAIN! it flew, and almost banged into me. *@$%&$!# is it blind or what...had to prepare a stack of newspapers to whack it just in case i get stung by a bee for nothing. after some time, it went back to the same spot-under my desk. as usual, it left in a couple of minutes.
i think you know what i'm going to type right now. YEAH!! it's here for the third time. something is amiss. problem #1: why is it able to recognise my place? problem #2: why does it come regularly at the same time? problem #3: it's invading into my privacy. my mom suggested we close the windows so that it's trapped outside. teeheehee. it actually worked!!!! the following day, i decided to check out its favourite spot aka under my desk.
i found something in the holes of my desk. the bee built a nest in the holes! soil particles crumbled and fell to the ground whenever my mom whacked it. some were empty but the rest had something. EW!! mustered up my courage, armed myself with a toothpick and newspapers, i began to dig the things inside the holes......felt like an archaeologist =

brownish-black, dried yet sticky, juicy, bead-like substances with hair-like structures that looked like the legs of its offsprings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
read up a bit online...the sticky portion is the nectar that the mother bee has deposited. nectar and dry pollen food provisions combine to become pollen ball where the egg is laid on. hm i wonder which stage it was...but the brood cell hasn't been closed because the bee came back! oh man. i think the bee hates me to the core...
haiz. beware of bees that come to your home regularly cos they're building nests in one of the many holes!! you wouldn't want free honey from such a source right...
