Someone unknowingly stole hundreds of hornets from the Philadelphia Bee Co.
in Old City, has searched his neighborhood for the vacuum since the Sept. 22 theft. He hoped to find it abandoned, the hornets and bees still inside. He checked for nearby security footage, but found nothing. He didn’t bother notifying the police. ”Not over a $100 vacuum,” he said.“To the poor soul who lifted the shop vac out of the back of my truck, I wanted to give you a heads up,” he wrote, warning that the queen bees “should be full of life and extra spicy.
He worries the thief could unknowingly unseal the vacuum hose, freeing the insects — or bring the stolen item directly to a pawn shop. “It’s physical and pseudo dangerous,” he said while removing a honey bee colony that had nested under an eve of Happy Hollow Recreation Center in Fernhill. Dozens of bees crawled over his skin and the honey-covered surface of his ventilated beekeeping jacket. He held one of the remaining European hornets aloft on his finger.On average, he is stung anywhere from five to 30 times daily, he said. His body has built a tolerance, he said.
