Bees in the walls, worms in the verminators, guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens all over the floors! Home brewing, breadmaking, wineries abound, sauerkrauting, pickling, dry foods on shelves, baskets of onions and potatoes stored in the cold room, Are we looking at life in the 21st century , post (GRD) great republican depression era? Solar cells, LED lights, passive solar heating, super insulation, ground heat preservation, wind power cell phone networks, GMO’ed bug free super growth veggies, humanure, and lots of time off! Can I use public transport to get there? Unemployment here is killing me!

I once worked in a business office with honey bees in the walls. The bees were there for 1 1/2 years before they had a beekeeper remove them. At first it was rather unnerving, you would go to answer the phone and a bee would be sitting on it, or be talking to a customer and a bee would land on your desk. But in all that time, over a year and a half, no one ever got stung. I developed a whole new respect and understanding of the honey bee. I have since become a beekeeper myself, but I dont think I would care for them in the walls of my house. The honey dripping from the walls would be too messy! I would much rather maintaine a hive and be able to harvest the honey.

If only everyone and everything could co-exist like this!

I’ve had ‘pet’ spiders in my bathroom before now that I’ve fed and taken a keen interest in, but I doubt I could live with a house positively overflowing with insects/arachnids. It’s wonderful that this family can be so kind as to put up with the bees. I wonder if they ever interact or if they simply live in the same building but keep totally to themselves? Obviously a game of Monopoly would be out of the question (well, unless you are a sore loser, then a bee would be the ideal playmate), but could you train a bee to come to you for you to feed it or anything like that?
