A Quriky Nest

Outside in my hammock between two trees a rogue large bee kept flying by me sitting up I rubbed my two eyes in disbelief noticing he would strip wood off and fly away like a thief Watching him was really quite surreal as he got out his hammer, saw and nails using my porch patio as his workplace I noticed his urgency as if in a race Buzzing and sawing his strips of wood and bark hammering and nailing until it was dark finally my curiosity got the best of me and risked getting stung to better see The bee seemed to stand back and admire his new tiny house for the bees that he would sire suddenly a female bee appeared showing love that was so bold as the male carpenter bee swept her up carrying her over the threshold A month later they're tiny bee house was now full of tiny carpenter bees right outside my window sill the house was cute but the noise downright loud as Mr and Mrs carpenter bee were now a proud Mom and a Dad Armed with protective layers of clothing and using a net I picked their tiny house up and knew they were upset relocating them to the forest I think they finally understood as they flew out of their tiny home admiring all the woods 7-2-18
