I want you to bike over here a couple kilometers right before dark. Wear jeans and shoes, oh and socks too. When you get here I am going make you change your shoes into the pig pen tenders boots that he wears without socks everyday for the past ten years because your shoes aren’t strong enough. Now put on this bee suit and elbow high rubber gloves. Now you really have no clue what is going on because everything is in French and at this time it is night. This what makes Africa fun and also really scary to you. They are building a fire, the two African guys you are with, everyone is suited up and ready to go. The smokers are a smoken and you all are off into the night. You have no clue where you are going and then you are there at the beehive. You can hear it before you actually get there and you also know that these are the Africa Killer Bees and Twenty-Twenty has warned you about. The type of bees that make you turnout like the boy in the last scene of the film “My Girl” so you check your back pocket for the Epi pin that the med unit gave you and get started. The two African guys are going at it and you are smoken those bees like your life depends on it. You might think man this suit is thick and then you realize you are covered in bees. Your legs are tired so you crouch down and all of a sudden three stings. Way to forget that bees are actually stinging you through all your clothing. Your comrades and you return with your harvest to base camp it is about ten at night and you get to taste the sweetness of your success. Heart racing a little bit you realize that this might be the best honey you have ever tasted.
And then you it dawns on you that the adventure isn’t over because you now have bike home in the dark.
