    1. Might be it flew inside it smelling it was sweet. Flies for example are crazy, but bees…is something else.

      LPT: Don’t pick up dead bees. I got stung once picking up a bee that looked dead. 

    3. Having worked at a winery, a pretty significant portion of your wine is dead bees. When you harvest the grapes they are basically rotting and super sweet, so bees are everywhere, drunk. Pick em, throw the bunches in buckets, then use a press. The bees are gonna find a way in.

    4. We got in a shipment of crt’s from Indonesia one time and a gecko had slipped in. It took a month and a half for the shipment to get to our facility by then the poor thing had started to death and had been basically stripped of All flesh.

      That wasn’t the only thing had come over on shipments and died in the process. But it was a rather unique specimen of a gecko skeleton.

      Better than opening a box of bananas and finding a huge tarantula inside. I’m still shaken 15 years later

      Ah, this recalls the famous literary work, La Mort de L’Abeille. By Sir Mallory, I believe.
