First things first: I am definitely a fan of the A’s and I am definitely not a fan of the bees. This past week has been “Infestation Week” and while my home has been buzzing it has not been enjoyable.
Apparently those deck umbrellas (not duck umbrellas; they’re cool too) make for excellent affordable housing for nests. On Tuesday the dozen or so bees/wasps/yellowjackets/whatever flying around in my bedroom were collecting their mail at one of the 3 umbrellas in my backyard/balcony. So pest control treated those nests only for the problem to persist until pest control came back and discovered 6 nests in the attic.
