where do you live?
I just brought it in and now it is going crazy in the little container. It tried to escape into the kitchen. I think it is warm now. Can't feed it or it will escape.
Should I release it, you think it could make it home?
Wait I have a syringe.
guess I will feed it then release it in the morning.
Oh S. Oregon.

hahaha one time when Me and a few friends were super wasted our other friend showed us that you can leesh flying insects and we were dying for so long. IT was so funny because of how passionate it was about it. I guess he ended up walking it home with him.

I got in trouble once at a school I worked at because all of my lectures were about the end of the world. I did a whole day on honey bee extinction once.
I'm too hardcore for 6th graders.

The fire pit is in my back yard, built 10 years after the house was.
And as far as I can tell, with carpenter bees, only the queens are capable of stinging. So I'm not too worried. It's just annoying as fuck when you go outside and there are 10-20 quarter sized bees buzzing all around you.
I'll find that dust and let you know what it is. Like I said, last time I used it, it killed A LOT of them. But the nests are still up in there, so I'm going to do application after application until they are gone.
They're annoying as fuck and leave nasty brown streaks on the siding wherever the nests are later on in the summer. I guess that's bee poop.

I bet its Sevin Dust, my dad always use that stuff.
June bugs are the funnest to leash! You tie a string around one leg and then hold the string and they'll fly round in circles...I haven't done that in so long . Seems safer than leashing a bee.

I'll leave it on the desk, my fridge is temperamental and sometimes freezes milk.
I'll put it in the 1/2 bath, no central heat in there.

This autumn I took care of a butterfly. It was laying on my table, motionless. I was about to throw it out but once I touched it it started to move a bit. Gave it sugar water and it started to come back to life. He lived w/ me like for a month. I would have let him go but the weather was shit. Best pet ever.

I remember a few months ago seeing the photo sequence of that. A huge bee hive on the swing set that went up in a blaze of glory.
Shit was awesome.

so.. you're trying to convince me that the bees have mastered teleportation, matter displacement or are capable of spontaneously materializing inside a piece of wood... 
I bet they found another way in, like behind a gutter or from the back side under the roof line

Wondering if I should try and move it to a warmer more insulated spot or try and feed it some sugar water with a big ol syringe or just let it bee.
Not sure if it is a lost bee or one that was just got caught in a bad climate. I don't think it is a male, is it, is it bee mating season?
mating season? aren't bees like ants? don't they have a queen? am i wrong?
