Joey knew better than to touch it. It was fascinating to the six year old who definitely should have heeded his parents’ words…but boys will be boys. I always hated that expression, being a mother of two well behaved boys. Back to my story…Joey watched the hive every morning after breakfast, before school. He would eat quickly and then rush out to see if anything happened overnight. He was mesmerized by the tiny holes and wondered how many bees were inside. Joey retrieved his mom’s stepladder and carefully removed the hive…you could hear screaming all the way down the block.
