Can't...Watch....Keep....breathing. Seriously - even the screen cap used for the still makes me feel sick. I've had a terrible fear of swarms of bees ever since I was a little girl and saw a couple of movies where people were attacked by them. I'm fine around one or two bees - no big deal....but this kind of thing?? I can't even watch it. (No offense intended, Rob. )

Same here. Seriously, I wouldn't have even cared about the financial ramifications....I would have walked away from that house. Not only for their safety but for their 5 year old son's emotional health.

Savannah, I think we watched the same movies. I saw 'attack bee' movies too as a child and I swear, stuff like that can haunt kids for life!

When Kara was a baby, I started seeing wasps flying around. I tracked them to the laundry room, and they were coming through a hole they had made in the ceiling. I had Gary come home from work since I was worried about Kara getting stung. He sprayed them and then removed the nest the next day. It was probably about 1.5 feet in diameter. I thought that was big, but nothing compared to the house in the video.

It reminds me about a video who would speak about a family who had their house pested by RATS a whole year or so. The rats were always there, peeping here and there, jumping ver the beds - while the people was sleeping there...ugh. - eating from their dishes and so on...
Npow, my question is the same than yours: "Why didn't the owners get pests control?"...People is weird, nowadays.

Oh no, I can't watch that. My parents used to have a privacy fence around their backyard when I was growing up, and for whatever reason one day I decided to hop the fence in the backyard. As I jumped down into the yard, I heard a buzzing noise and looked up and their was a swarm of bees in the apple tree. I panicked and instead of hopping back over the fence, I took off running. Only one bee got stuck in my hair, but it was enough to make me scream bloody murder. One of my parents friends who was over at the time came running out of the house (my dad was at work, and my mom was disabled and couldn't walk), so the friend helped get the bee away from me and into the house. The guy next door was a bee farmer, and apparently the bees got out. It was interesting to see him gather up the bees though, from the safety of watching through the window, of course.

Yup, so true. Looks like they bought the house as is. Never notices, bees around their house every year.

Lori, 1.5 feet is still pretty big! Would have been enough to freak me out!
Pam, that had to be so scary as a child! I probably would have done the same thing. Lucky for you it was just the one bee that gotcha.
For some reason, I've only gotten stung on my feet! I had a bee go inside my sandal as a child, have stepped on ground bees, and stepped on one on our stairs going up to my bedroom as a teen. NOT fun. I really HATE bees with a passion.

Has anyone seen the movie, "My Girl"? There is a part when Thomas J. (Macaulay Culkin) goes to find Vada's (Anna Chlumsky) mood ring that had been lost earlier.....while he is looking, a beehive is disturbed and he is attacked by the bees.....Thomas J. is allergic to bees and hasn't got a chance....It is such a good movie, but sad too....

There was a bee in the kitchen this morning actually. I was thinking of letting it sting me so I could watch it. Yes I am odd.

Sorry...it remind me the old song about the rat in the kitchen, by UB40.

Oh my yes. I loved the movie, but that scene where Veda comes to his funeral?? One of the saddest movie scenes I think I've ever seen.
But it really is interesting how movies can affect us. Remember Arachnophobia, with Jeff Daniels? Now THAT was a scary movie!!! I haven't looked at spiders the same way since!
