Attack of the bees

Mason, the little bee catcher!
Makyla's picture....gross huh?
We have been having some bees fly into our house in the last month or so, and couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Makyla has been stung twice in our front room. Last Sunday as we were leaving for church, Mason said a new word "bee!" and pointed towards where our gas line enters our house for the hot water tank and furnace. As I looked up there was a little bees nest and bees swarming. They were going in and out of the house where the gas line enters. That night, my mom and I decided to spray them while Mark was at work. The closet where our hot water tank is was swarming with bees. The poison was killing them though. My mom had this great idea to vacuum them up. Some of them could fly, and others were just laying on the ground wiggling. After hours of vacuuming I decided to hit the hay. In the morning, low and behold, there were more bees to smash and vacuum up. Makyla asked if she could take a picture (so that is what that weird thing is!). Our vacuum was full of them. More came back, so last night we sprayed again...and I am vacuuming more up...ugh! Will this ever end?
