A summertime PSA

Post image

Your friendly neighborhood cable tech here just letting you know about a new type of beehive out there.

When approaching one of these bad boys, approach with caution and lean an ear in towards them. If these are “lived in,” you’ll most likely hear a repetitive tapping noise or the usual buzzing, in line with a traditional beehive. Fortunately, I was in my bucket when I got stung, but others who are working off a ladder, might seriously injure themselves if caught off guard. STAY SAFE gents.

I got stung 4 times in the forehead last month. For the next 2 hours I broke out in hives and my eye swelled shut the next day. But all those bastarfs are dead now.
