Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young damsel entered a competition. At the completion of the competition she received the highest honor, being crowned the Honey Queen. She traveled throughout the land promoting honey bees and the honey industry. At the end of her reign, she quietly crowned her successor and returned back to her normal life.
Many years later, the Honey Queen and her handsome king set off on a grand expedition to a magical frontier. Their young princess remained at home to tend the garden and guard the family's abode from unwanted visitors.
One day, the princess was roaming the house. Suddenly as she passed the laundry room, she heard a buzzing sound. Upon looking into the room, she saw about ten bees swarming around the window. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed. "I wonder how the bees got inside the house. All the windows and doors are closed." The princess promptly closed the laundry room door and stuffed a blanket in the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. The princess decided she needed some fresh air and ventured outside.
Upon entering the patio, she heard a deafening buzzing sound. Looking up, she saw a huge swarm of thousands of bees on the side of the house. "Oh no! A bees hive! I was just outside yesterday and did not see any bees. I wonder how the bees formed a nest so quickly." Unnerved by the intense buzzing sound, the princess quickly watered the queen's plants and went back inside. Being quite fatigued, the princess retired to her resting chamber.
Several hours later, the princess's tummy was growling. "I think I will journey to the kitchen to enjoy a lovely supper." Upon leaving her resting chamber, the princess was overwhelmed with a buzzing sound. A quick look at the dining room windows revealed about 20 bees! The princess continued her journey to the kitchen. Upon arriving in the kitchen, the buzzing sound seemed as though it was coming from every direction. The princess explored the house. Upon arriving at the bathroom, she discovered about 100 bees covering the windows. She immediately closed the bathroom door. Upon arriving at the front entrance, the entry door was covered in hundreds perhaps thousands of bees! Immediately, the princess retrieved her wireless wand and called her lady-in-waiting. "Michelle! Come quick! There are bees in the house!" Michelle agreed to come over right away.
When Michelle arrived, she fearlessly entered the humble abode. Armed with a green can of Raid bug spray, she stoically battled the bees. She glided from room to room, spraying noxious chemicals on the precious honey bees. When the entire house was heavy with poisonous aerosol fumes, Michelle whisked princess away to her dwelling place. Tonight, princess and her lady-in-waiting where going to have an impromptu slumber party! Although princess was unsettled about the bee invasion, she was thrilled God was turning this topsy-turvy day into a grand adventure. (Who needs to travel to far away lands when this much excitement awaits at one's own home!?) Michelle graciously allowed princess to sleep in her bed. (How incredibly sweet and dear this gesture was!)
In the morning, Michelle drove princess back to her home. Armed with more Raid, Michelle again glided from room to room, killing more bees. She then vacuumed up the thousandss of dead bees and washed the bug spray off the windows and mopped the floors. With much gratitude, princess thanked her lady-in-waiting from her assistance and for rescuing the princess from such a perilous situation. The lady-in-waiting departed. The rest of the day, the princess slept and tried to recover from the dramatic events from the previous 24 hours. During the next several days, about 100 more bees invaded the humble abode and met an early death. For about one week, a handful of unwanted bees continued to invade the house. Thankfully, they soon were defeated and stopped flying in. Princess was very excited and was thanking God for no more bees in the home.
The honey bees came for the Honey Queen. Unfortunately, the queen was not home, and princess did not want to entertain a swarm of bees until the queen's return. As much as it was disheartening to slaughter so many honey bees, princes was very grateful that no one was stung and no damage occurred due to the bee invasion. Praise "bee" to God!
