Tanks Versus Bees

The infantry escort the tank as they advance on the bee stronghold.

The infantry have brought a flamethrower but it is saved for the hive.

The sickening squish of the bees under the tank crews was unnerving.

But the troops were glad the tank was with them.

 The bees were unable to penetrate it's thick armor with their stingers.

Bees, Film, Tanks

The bees are climbing buildings.

As the bee attack begins some new bees are leaving their cells.

The queen seems to be directing the hive and their attack.

The film crew indicates this is just a movie, or is it a newsreel crew filming a real attack?

The tanks are here and now the bees will be rolled back.

Even the light tanks can defeat the bees.

Still the bees counterattack.

And swarm a tank.
 

B As in MayBerry

Worker bee.

Worker bee and hive.

Worker bees build a hive in a small American town.

The population flees!

One man uses a pick to aid others in escaping.

The large bees can still fly!
 

Mysterious Island

A mass of bees.

Union troops attack the hive.

One round must be placed exactly in order to kill a bug.

At least the revolver can fire six rounds into the beastie.

The riflemen at least have a bayonet to keep the bugs at bay.

But who can stop a bug with a bayonet.

We are going to need more troops!
 

MI & Bees

The giant bees are from two different sets.

There is a big winged bee, a smaller winged bee that is drying it's wings, and a bee that is emerging from a cell, all from an educational set about bee development.

The smaller yellow and black bees are a rubber toy that were sold individually at a museum.

They work well together, the queen being larger than the other worker bees, and the size of these is perfect.

But the only good bug is a dead bug.

So the Mobile Infantry is deployed.

Service guarantees citizenship.

It made me the man I am today.

Giant Bees

Recently MRS Bunkermeister and I visited Hobby Lobby.  She needed yarn for some project she was knitting and I never miss an opportunity to look for anything cool.

I always check the silicone molds used to make candy, or candles, or other stuff.

I found this mold of hexagon shapes.

Naturally I had to buy it for my giant bee collection.

It's really a nice size and less than $3.  And of course, I have a giant bee collection, thanks to my friend COL Jim he was kind enough to pick up some for me years ago.
