    This happened to an old co-worker of mine except she didn't die. There was a huge hive of bees in her attic for probably years without her knowing and one day they all went into the house. She found them when she came home from work. My point is, I think this far more common than my anti-anxiety meds will allow me to think about.

      That is horrifying and like rats in toilets I will forever be afraid.

      I was a realtor for about a year and was showing a house once when we walked into the bathroom to the site of a long dead rat in the toilet. I will never know whether it was crawling in or making its way out.

      There used to be 800,002 bees.

      I've had a couple of run-ins with bee swarms. Nothing on this scale though. The worst I've encountered is accidentally digging into a ground hornet nest. I ran like hell, but still got over 20 stings.

        A few weekends ago I was out hiking with a friend and accidentally stomped on a ground hornet nest, they tore my leg up something fierce before I could get a safe distance away.

        Had to limp the remaining 20 miles to our car with one good leg and one lumpy, misshapen, sore as hell one. We did NOT make good time.

      Fill your heart with bees. That way, if someone breaks your heart, they'll have to deal with the bees.

          But on the plus side — it cleared their arthritis right up.

        Could someone explain to me how the fuck someone doesn't notice a hive in the attic for 10 years?!

            We thought their colonies were collapsing, but they were just busy plotting against these dudes.

              A guy I work with had a massive bee hive in his house and never knew it. It was in the space between the 1st and 2nd floors. One night around 10, a piece of his living room ceiling fell in and they came swarming. Once he found a 24 hour exterminator that actually answered his phone, the hive was about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long. It was insane.

                If you find them before the collapse, call a bee keeper. They will set up a new hive outside and arrange for the bees to take residence. Once they are happy in their new home, he opens the old in-home hive and the bees will clean out the pounds or tons of honey. Just killing the bees leaves a house with all that honey dooms the place when the honeycomb fails and lets a slow flood of honey loose, much like your friend experienced.
