I never thought of this before:
It happened Saturday night at her home south St. Pete. Police say teenagers hopped Mendenhall’s fence, but one of them landed right on top of a bee hive.
“Bees do not like to be disturbed, but especially at night,” Mendenhall explained.
Needless to say, the teens didn’t make it any further onto her property. Police took finger prints and called several emergency rooms to see if anyone was treated for swelling from stings.
I’ve heard of landscaping with lots of spiky plants like Sago Palms, to turn a vulnerable approach into a denied area, but filling an area with behives, set into the ground, insulated, camouflaged, and topped with the flimsiest of covers, designed to break when stepped on, would be a great way to secure an area. The enemy approaches, a foot breaks through the ground into a hive, and out come thousands of little tasers, each set to “hurt like fuck” and designed to seek out anything living in the area and Bonsai!
Add a few sound sensors, designed to clue you into loud cursing and screaming, and that is one approach you don’t have to worry about. And when things are calm, you just pass through with a few smoke pots and you have all the honey you can possibly want.
It would even be environmentally friendly too. So your hardened bunker with anti-personnel defenses and armaments galore could even sport a Sierra club Green sticker.
