9 year olds are well reknowned for their negotiating skills. Yield the field.
And it may surprise you, Tag, that I am working on a diy project that will help. I turned some spoons intoba pseudo-wind chime bee feeder. I will send my 2nd one to you for Max... to possibly regain favor and SAVE THE BEES! 1 part table sugar and 4 parts distilled water is all you will need.
Hahaha...
I did not know where I would end up sending these trinkets... but I should have guessed.

If you prefer I can send them unassembled... all you do is tie a knot and string 'em up in tree or bush or something. Perfect time of year... bees will be getting hungry soon.

Bald face hornets! Pure meanery! You are lucky to be in one piece. Hahaha... I one time was clearing some debris on a lot... I was a kid and not fleet of foot. I kicked a rock that hit an old waterheater which contained a huge hornet's nest. I think I was about to break the sound barrier. 9 stings to head and many on the legs. My dad and uncle "took care of it". I still do not what they did, but it was likely a fire.

Hornets do not make honey even... just whine.
