Honey Bees

One strange thing about Minot is the number of bees. They attack your peanut butter sandwich. They buzz around you in circles and gun for your soda whenever they have the chance. Greg screams a lot when he sees them. It's pretty hilarious. One day I made a comment along the lines of, "Why the hell are there so many dang bees around here?!" To which my site supervisor, Dave, replied that North Dakota is the #1 honey-producing state in the nation. No crap? Yup, makes sense now. One trick I learned is to cut the cylindrical top off a water bottle. Invert it back into the bottle, then fill it with a sweet liquid. The bees are drawn into the bottle and then get stuck inside. It works, no lie.
