In 1974 Grandpa was 16 years old and was cleaning the outside steps that went up through the woods to the front door of Mr. Griemel’s house. There was to be a party that night and the steps would be clean of dirt and debris.
As he sprayed the water to clean the railroad ties and stones he discovered an in-the-ground nest of yellow jackets. It was easy work to spray the bees and flood the nest. Soon Grandpa discovered something he will never forget. Yellow jackets always have an alternate exit to their hives.
Soon there was a stream of angry bees after Grandpa. He had become a BEE Target! The hose was dropped and he was running at top speed towards his car. A glance over his shoulder revealed a long string of bees in hot pursuit. He had enjoyed getting rid of the pests. He was now in fright and flight and could be easily overcome by dozens of charging bees.
Grandpa tells his true stories for your benefit to help you think laugh and live, and maybe avoid his mistakes. This is the 80th episode. Some are more serious faith and family and health stories. This is a “fun” one where Grandpa became a bee target and lives to tell the story.
