Killer Bees!!

Today's post will be a continuation of my "rice farming" day!!! While I was in Tanzania (Post volcano) I was fortunate to become a rice farmer for the day!! This is a day that was pivotal for me and what I want to do to help my many friends in Tanzania. As we worked EVERY part of the rice field that day, I had the opportunity to help "swap" the rice. I along with several migrant farmers pounded the rice onto a rice bag where it would be gathered by the children who would haul it to the village to "dry" for a week. After I pounded much of the rice, I was walking back to my "video" recording professional (thanks Mike) and as he was interviewing me on the experience, he shouted loud to "GET DOWN GET DOWN" I was laughing and surprised and didn't understand why...but quickly crouched on my knees and put my hands over my head!! He kept telling me to listen and as I did, I heard this loud hum...getting closer and closer. I peaked out of the corner of my eyes and saw this huge black cloud getting closer. The cloud was nearly a few feet above my head then left and went off in the distance. I quickly asked Mike what it was and he said it was a swarm of "Killer Bees" that make there way around these fields and if you don't get down they would have gone right through us!!! WHEW...that is what they call a close call!!!!

Just another day of rice farming...with another new experience to write about!!!

Until next time~

Cheers!
