Graveyard for bees


As we set out on our morning walk my wife and I saw a litter of dead bees on the 9th floor corridor at 'D' Block. The beehive on 'C' floor was gone. We heard from the security staff that they had destroyed 10 beehives in our complex, including the one behind the Mantri Synergy signboard at 'D' tower.

Beehive in Block 'C'

These flats, they say, wouldn't be ready for occupation till August-end. But bees have already moved in on Floor 11 of 'C' Block.
I took this shot from my mother's bed-room window at D-901. We first became aware of the beehive a few days back when we started having some unwelcome visitors droning into our apartment after lights-on. That is when my wife would get into the act with a folded copy of The Hindu . It takes some unsuccessful swipes with The Hindu and swift footwork to get at him. After the bee is done to death we shut the windows or switch-off unneeded lights. Such is our daily evening routine at Mantri Synergy nowadays.
We had a bees issue in our Mysore apartment, from where we moved to Mantri's in mid-April.
