On Sunday afternoon two weeks ago I drove home from a meeting and turned into the driveway. Then I stopped the car. Something was up.
Ahead of the car, right next to the house, where the neighbor's trees overhang the driveway and make a tunnel, there was a swirling cloud of little tiny dots, like a demonstration of Brownian motion -- particles in liquid. But this was air, not liquid, and even from 30 feet away I could hear buzzing.
I rolled up the windows and drove forward, very, very slowly. When I was right in the middle of the cloud, I could see they were bees. That made it unlikely that someone had decided to dispose of a dismembered corpse in OUR trash cans. In that case it would've been flies and wasps.
