I was trying to get home but got swarmed!

The bag-o-bees apparently extended out from the tip about 4 inches and
hung down about 6. They would seemingly attack any cars or other noisy
objects approaching the aircraft. Hornet spray was deployed which
killed several hundred but the rest remained.

By the time I arrived the next morning, the bees had migrated to the
spinner and a large number were flying in and around the cowling. Fish
and Game had been contacted and calls had been made to local beekeepers
but none had answered. The story was embellished by recent killer bee
reports around Tampa.


Next time call me!!

1. Climb into your VW Beetle/Maule ...whatever.
2. Taxi it inside the New Orleans Superdome.
3. Turn the building's AC to the "Very Cool" setting.
4. Watch the Giant Jumbotron for the temp to drop to 45F.
5. Wait for bees to go dormant.

I once discovered just after takeoff that a bee was inside the plane
with me, so I figgured I was probably in for getting stung and just
simply accepted the possibility of a sting and instead paid full
attention to my flying. After climbing to 9500MSL I noticed the bee had
passed out on the back seat and stayed dormant for the entire 3 hour
flight home. After I landed and was getting my stuff out of the plane,
the bee finally aroused and flew out the door. Apparently the rapid
change in altitude from near sea level to 9.5K had a physiological
effect on the bee that put it out for a while. I just wonder if the bee
ever made it back home :-)
