Why is a team of firemen raising a ladder atop Casa Margarita’s office roof? Why bees, of course. When Ray (our property manager/neighbor/eco-warrior) discovered two beehives between the teak ceiling and the tin roof, he just didn’t have the tools – or ladder – to reach the hives. So, naturally to the rescue come the local Bomberas (firefighters) from Santa Cruz to the rescue.
They brought a crew and apparently an apiarist in bee suit to free the trapped bees and get them safely back into the wild – far enough from the casa so they won’t be buzzing guests this season. Here are some snaps of Santa Cruz’ finest in action.
Don’t say we never have any excitement in Paraiso!
