My office is not an apiary
There is a bee infestation on the third floor of Wescoe. The hive is in the outside wall, just to the south of my office (like, three feet to the south of my office). If I go outside of the building and look at the window of our conference room (the room right next to my office), I can see them swarming around an area where the flashing tore away from the concrete of the wall. It's not a comforting sight.
When I go in the conference room, I can hear the buzzing. It's loud and scary. We have dead bees in the ceiling lights, dead bees on the carpet, and at least a couple live bees buzzing around the offices every day--soon to become the dead bees.
Facilities and Operations has (as far as we can tell) done nothing except come look at the area and say "Yep. Them are some bees."
I'm not sure what's saving me from having my own office full of bees. Is it good luck? Or just a matter of time...It's making me edgy. Nine hours of edginess every day in the office is not a great situation. Every time I hear one buzzing, I have to find it to make sure it's not in my office, or entering my office through a crack in my wall or ceiling.
I don't have anything against bees (not like I do, say, wasps and hornets), but I am very tired of sharing a workspace with them and I would like them gone now.
