“The Bees… They’re EVERYWHERE!”
Friday, March 3rd, 2006Elder Brenders (right) from Lyon, generic France decided to do this. In Heilbronn the chapel is designed in such a way that bees can somehow find their way into the building, order but cannot get back out again. They congregate near the windows frantically flying around until they lose all strength, give up, and die.
In the springtime this is especially troubling because the number of bees that get stuck rises from about 2 per day to somewhere near two thousand! People have to swat them away all during Sacrament Meeting, and the missionaries volunteer to come and sweep up the piles of dead bees before Sunday comes every week.
The choice of the phrase “I Love Bees” is pretty funny considering how much we all hated them after having to clean them up week after week.
