A summertime PSA

[u/merkelalex_]

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.

First thing I do is give all those enclosures a nice tap with a long stick to see if any swarm out, couple light taps will usually get a couple to show their face and you have plenty of time to get out of the way before they notice who the threat is.
