Bee or not to Bee


For a couple of months now we thought we had Bees making a hive in an eve near our front west bedroom. Danny swore he saw bees outside the window, we also saw what looked like the makings of a hive or so we thought. It had been a few months and we really had not seen any further bees flying around the window, even though it appeared the hive was still lingering. My thoughts were the hive is being built inside our home and the what ifs kept going through my head. what if it is huge, what if a bee stings one of our grand kids, what if it cost us a small fortune to remove the hive. Well we lined up a bee exterminator to come out to the house. The night prior to all of our questions being answered, we investigated the scene. Danny squirted the mass, nothing happened he discovered it wasn't a hive but a nest. We took a broom and tried to get the nest dislodged. My attempts only confirmed yes it was a nest when with one attempt a birds head and only a head came tumbling out of the nest. The next time I attempted to remove the nest this is what fell out on to our driveway. Bees gone!!! Oh yea no bees I mean Nest gone bird and all!!! I have no idea how long that bird had been up in the eves dead like that.
