When my neighbor complained about the bees buzzing around my flower garden, I never thought he’d take things into his own hands. One morning, I stepped outside and was stunned to find my entire garden covered in fresh cement—my tulips, daisies, and carefully tended lavender beds ruined.

He stood proudly by the fence and said, “Maybe now the bees will go bother someone else.”

I didn’t yell. I didn’t cry. Instead, I smiled and said, “Alright then.”

You see, I may look like a sweet old lady, but I’ve been keeping bees for over 30 years—and I know people. I contacted the local council, environmental groups, and the media. Within a week, he was facing hefty fines for destroying pollinator habitats and violating local environmental codes.

But I didn’t stop there. I rebuilt my garden—twice as big—thanks to donations and volunteers who read the news story. And the bees? They came back stronger than ever.

Now, he watches silently as the whole neighborhood praises my garden. Sweet revenge, indeed.
