Bees, If You Please

By popular request, I'm posting our video of the bee swarm that trapped us inside Starbucks last weekend. No Venice Beach firemen or Caramel Macchiatos were harmed during the making of this film. The bees, though...oh, those poor little guys were toast.



This unusual event was the highlight of the morning for scores of coffee-drinking people watchers. It wasn't just that none of us had ever seen so MANY bees in one place. The real joy was that we had a front row view of every single unsuspecting pedestrian who happened upon them. The LOOKS on these people's faces was priceless. And I'm not at all ashamed to report that I was greatly entertained at their expenses. It was truly a candid camera event.

My heart was saddened at the bees' tragic end, however. Nobody should have to go out that way. Not even a bee.
