When your fountain becomes a giant beehive in Las Vegas.
The homeowner called about “a few bees” near the fountain. There were a few bees. There were also several thousand more inside it.
The basin was packed with comb, the colony was spread across it from edge to edge, and the drip line was still running through the middle, watering nothing.
The fountain had not held water in some time. The bees did not seem to mind. They had a roof, a dry floor, and a water source a few feet away, which is more than most Las Vegas apartments offer.
