\"bees\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our children were very happy to hear we had decided to replace the ancient window air conditioner that came with the house when we moved there in 1991. We were happy, too, until the Man of Steel discovered a bee hive between the machine unit and the box that surrounded it. Bees in the house isn’t a wish-for-it experience, but it does have its perks. Here are ten of them.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Bees fleeing their hive as the Man of Steel banged and pulled at the unit provided a once in a lifetime opportunity to see him wear his winter coat, hood, and thick work gloves in early September.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 The Man of Steel thinks I’m a genius for knowing that a paste of soda and water eases the pain of bee stings.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 Bees in the house makes mice in the car<\/a> seem a less disturbing event.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0 A person’s eye-hand coordination improves rapidly when wielding a fly swatter against a bevel o’ angry bees.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 When the vacuum sweeper sucks the venetian blinds cord a long way into the tube, along with a mound of bee corpses, only a tiny piece of the plastic thingy at the end of the cord becomes a sacrificial offering to the vacuum cleaner god.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 Bees sneaking back into the house through teeny-tiny holes is motivation to immediately\u00a0 finish the interior caulking, sheet rocking, mudding, painting and trim work.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 The hardware store will make a huge profit this quarter due to bulk caulking purchases made by a frantic Man of Steel with baking soda paste all over his arms.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 Bees in the house means the Woman of Aluminum has to spend her working days at her favorite coffee shop until the invasion ends.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 They also make heading out on a two day speaking trip a welcome event rather than something a homebody Woman of Steel dreads.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact the speaking trip, booked more than a year ago, makes the Woman of Steel thankful for for God’s divine intervention in our lives…even when he uses bees to make his presence and his plan known.<\/p>\n
