Woman lets bees make a hive in her speaker<\/h2>\n
\n

Honey is a versatile ingredient that every household should have, as it can be used in many dishes and treats.<\/p>\n

But while most of us get our honey from malls or markets, this woman living in Hanoi has a more unique supply after a queen bee decided to make a hive inside her speaker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although she gave up a rather expensive speaker to let it be the insects’ new home, here’s how she gleaned a little extra income after letting the bees do what they do best.<\/p>\n

A woman who goes by the nickname Trang Colin on Facebook<\/a> sells honey as a source of side income. Yet, when she started the business, she probably didn\u2019t expect that it\u2019d stick with her in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

Last week, Trang shared a cute bee-related story<\/a> that happened at her home on the outskirts of Hanoi, where many plants and trees reside. One day, some bees flew inside her house and apparently took a liking to her VND 5 million (~USD215) speaker \u2013 so much so that they decided to settle down and make their hive inside it.<\/p>\n

According to Trang, that was months ago, and by the time she made the post, the speaker was\u2026buzzing with thousands of bees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to give up my hobby of singing karaoke to share my speaker with the bees,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s since sought the help of a professional beekeeper to move the hive to a proper wooden case.<\/p>\n

Netizens are impressed<\/h3>\n

Trang\u2019s story attracted a fair amount of attention from netizens. Some, such as Facebook user L\u01b0\u01a1ng \u0110\u1ea1t<\/a>, found it \u201cadorable and funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, commenter Tu Dinh<\/a> quipped that letting bees reside in speakers could be \u201can organic solution to unsolicited karaoke\u201d.<\/p>\n

The joke is a reference to a common problem in Vietnam: instead of hitting up karaoke parlors, many people love singing karaoke with their in-house speakers in their own houses – most of which aren’t soundproofed. This hobby results in loud noise in the area and cases<\/a> of neighbors clashing over noise pollution sometimes occurs.<\/p>\n

Until their speakers are bestowed with a similar visit from a queen bee, it looks like those disputes will have to be resolved the conventional way.<\/p>\n

The kind woman could have driven the bees out, yet she chose to let them stay, despite the fact that it cost her a valuable piece of karaoke equipment.<\/p>\n

At least now she has a reliable source of honey to compensate her for her efforts. Who knows, this could even be the start of her professional beekeeping career.<\/p>\n

In any case, we wish her – and the queen bee’s colony – all the best in their endeavors.<\/p>\n
