Killer Bees! Page #4

Well, my sheriffing hasn't had

much of a following, either

Before, half the county hated me, and...

Now it's unanimous

Oh! You're just doing your job, Lyndon

Al least your problem

will eventually go away

Mine will just get worse

What's it like? MS I mean

I get fatigued. It's the most

common symptom

But then there's the tremors where

I lose coordination and balance

That's the worst

There's no cure?

Not as of yet, and I've tried everything

Salves, pills, physical therapy

and then I discovered apitherapy

- Bee venom

- Oh!

That just sounds so medieval

Believe me, if there was a cure involving

leeches, I'd be all over that one loo

You do what's necessary to survive

If I've learned anything

it's that you've got to be grateful

for every day you've got

Well you know, speaking of days,

I really should be going

We have an awful lot

of trucks to check tomorrow

- Was it the microwave cooking?

- No, no, that was fine, really

I had a great time

I'll see you tomorrow

What the sam hill is this all about, Sheriff?

We're trying to isolate

an outbreak of AK bees

African Killer bees

Oh yeah. I saw that movie on

late-night TV "Attack of the..."

No maybe it wasn't bees,

maybe it was piranhas

Or maybe it was alligators

A real bee movie

He)', are you okay?

Just a little tremor

- I'll be all right in a minute

- Okay

- Are you alright?

- Yeah

Hey!

Dylan!

Dammit

All right, guys, that sounds excellent

Good 'gob

Thanks, Dad

Do you guys mind if we take

a five-minute break or something?

Those piano lessons finally

paid off, huh, Kyle?

You guys take it easy, all right?

You rode right by,

you didn't wave or nothing

That's something I might expect

from somebody in this town

but not from my own son

Is she your girlfriend?

Well, she's a girl, yeah,

and she's my friend

So she's your girlfriend then?

Dylan, we're just working together

Listen, son. You know what's happened

between me and your mother

We wouldn't never wish that on anybody

0k, I mean, if you've got any ideas

on how to fix it, I'm all ears but...

We've been trying,

and it's just not working

So you're giving up, then?

Oh boy!

Dylan...

You know I hope you don't have to find

out like your old man, the hard way but...

Not everything in this life lasts forever

Gee, Dad, I can't wait to grow up

Well, I'm sure glad the doctor

gave you a clean report

Yeah, me too

Thank you for today

Of course

Usually when that happens,

I'm all alone and it's kind of scaly

I'm glad you were there

Now I'm the one who's

weak in the knees

It's your wife, isn't it?

What, Audrey?

You're still in love with her, aren't you?

Oh!

I'm still working on that

You're a good man, Lyndon

I'll see you later

- Good night

- Good night

Danger, living bees

Ben brought a lot of supers

So Cass, you know, I'm sorry if I've been

a little more involved than usual lately

It's okay, Dad

Being a policeman's a very stressful job

Right up there with air traffic controllers

Yes, it is

So I was thinking that, you know seeing

how a real beekeeper might work

could help you with your presentation

- I thought you didn't like bees

- I don't. I hate them

But you like her?

Well, she's a real smart lady,

and I think you're going to like her loo

No, no, Slim...

That's just... that's not gonna cut it

Well, I don't care

Call the teamsters or highway

patrol or somebody

Get me a roster of all the truck pollinators

Well, did you try the web?

On the computer, Slim

Okay, well, start with the power button

Each colony contains about 50,000 bees

which will yield about 60 pounds of honey

Are you scared?

No, I like the bees

Me too

I think it's a shame most

people think of bees like that

angry insects just waiting to attack

any poor person who comes near them

If someone filled my house with smoke,

I'd be pretty angry too

You'd have every right to be

Actually, the smoke just calms them

Otherwise we'd be facing

an angry swarm right now

I wish I was a bee when

the bank took our farm

I'd have given that Mayor Dittwaller

a good sting

Must have been a pretty place, huh?

It was really pretty. I had a calf, and...

Riley?

Yes, Cassidy?

Dad said you were sick

I have MS

MS? What's that

It's Multiple Sclerosis

It's a disease that attacks

the nervous system

Are you gonna die?

I don't think about dying, only living

Take this little worker bee here

She only lives for about 30 days

If she pondered her fate as much as

we do, she'd never get any work done

That's why they say busy as a bee

I forgot to give you those

The bills

Right on time

So your daughter thinks that Riley is nice

You two going out?

Are you going out with

Dave from Pick N'Save?

I think we had this conversation

back in high school, didn't we?

Lyndon, people are beginning to talk

About me and Riley?

- No about you and those bees

- Oh for the love of Pete!

Look the kids are getting it

from their friends

I'm hearing it in town, the customers

now are shooting me looks

You know, you go ahead and

mention to somebody in this county

that a twister's coming

They jump in their storm cellar quicker

than hell can scorch a feather

But mention killer bees

And everybody thinks my six

shooters a few bullets short

Sheriff

What is it, Slim?

Cardiac, Sissy Hephron's place

All right, I'm on my way

- Think it's legit?

- I sure hope not

Coffee

She was having difficulty breathing,

and then she lost consciousness

Heart attack

Did you see this?

It's a bug bite

That's a bee sting

What if she's allergic to bees?

- Are you sure, Lyndon?

- My dad died this way

So does Sumas have a killer

bee problem, Miss Muir?

Sumas may have a bee problem

but I can't put all the blame

on the African killer bee

Sissy Hephron had a severe

anaphylactic reaction

brought on by the sting of

a common European honeybee

And what about all those pollinator

trucks that you've been harassing?

You find anything there?

I've no further evidence of killer bees,

sir, but I really think...

Well, then we can call off all the hysterics

I really think this is a bit premature

Your sheriffs career is premature

if you don't stop this. Are we clear?

There are no killer bees in Sumas

Fine. If you say so

Well, then

How's that little investigation

of yours coming, Jarrod?

I'm still working on it, sir

Really?

Well, so am I

Why don't you come by the office

tomorrow and we can compare notes?

Tomorrow... I'm kind of busy

It's not an invitation

you can turn down, son

Whatever you say, Sheriff

- ls Dylan around?

- Actually, Dylan's a little busy today

Well, tell him I was here

I'll do that

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow

Yes, sir

Were you talking to somebody?

Jarrod just stopped by,

but I told him you were busy

Dad, I was supposed to go hang out

with some buddies I mean...

I've got an errand,

I want you to go on with me

Okay

I... I don't even have my Learner's

Permit yet, Dad, I mean...

I can get in some
