This happened to me when I was about 10. My parents were getting the house renovated and I kept telling them about this noise in ny bedroom. They got one of the contractors to open a little hole and suddenly bees everywhere. That did not help with my fear of bees.
Why does everything cost 20k in the US Do most people make a million per year lol
Well, building materials are expensive for one. Like, I had to have my roof replaced in the last year or two, and it was $6k, and they only ripped and replaced the plywood, barrier and shingles. They didn’t have to worry about cleaning out organic matter, structural issues involved with opening up a wall and removing shit, or the complications of dealing with utilities in wall.
When you factor all the potential issues in, especially if it was a large infestation, costs can add up quickly.
Was this an experiment in remote parenting or how did they not notice the bees for months?
They are actually relatively quiet once inside their nest.
That is a very young age to experience not being believed by parents. The poor kid, I hope she’s not traumatised. It’s surprising the things that can mark us.
33¢ per bee is crazy.
Who’s their bee guy, amirite?
Back in the day it used to only be 5¢ per bee
I once bought a mousetrap with my pocket money and caught the mouse, my parents didn’t believe was in my bedroom.
I just had wasps burrow their way into the side of my house and chew down through the ceiling of my first floor bathroom. That very particular and unnerving scratching noise is fucking burned into my brain.
Why would you need to pay for bee removal? Local beekeepers will do it for free in my neighborhood.
Got to open up the walls, clean the honey residue, removing the hive, and rebuild the walls. Getting rid of the bees is the easiest part.
Yeah but that’s $20k? I guess 60k bees is a lot
Walls and shit are expensive, yeah.
suckers living in the city.
They’re in the walls… oh god… they’re in the walls!
I used to hear scratching in my bedroom walls at night when I was a kid.
My dad said it was probably red squirrels but to me, it was demons trying to claw their way through a portal.
Well? Which was it??
The other option was a data centre next door.
Every time I see something that says bees I immediately think of Arrested Development.
Beads. Bees? Beads! Beads?!
GOB’s not on board.
there are always bees in the banana stand.
How much could one bee removal cost, Michael?
