It was a saturday and the weather had cooled down a bit so her fur did not feel so warm. Luna was sitting in the yard reading a web comic off her phone when the wind shifted ever so slightly making her nose twitch with the smell of something sweet. Reluctantly putting her book down she followed the scent and when she got toward the corner of the yard she noticed a small fist sized hole in the ground. She also noticed the many small insects who emerged and retreated from the hole, Bee's, honeybee's in fact not that Luna really knew why wasps, bee's and hornets were different other then their aggression.
She had read that real skunk's did this and so she assumed she could to. It never crossed her mind the sanitary issues or the good things the bee's did. Dropping to a hunched over croach, she began to shovel dirt away from the nest in much the same way she had seen dog's do so with squirrels. Dirt flew out behind her as she dug, the dirt passing under her as it went. It turned out the nest was not quite as easy to get to as Luna thought and as she dug more and more of the bee's landed on her trying to sting her threw her fur. She ignored them, swatting one away from her ear. Two in a half feet down she reached the nest and it was then the next issue occurred to the young black and white skunk. She grabbed and broke off a piece of the comb but dropped it when several wiggly things emerged from a few of the combs; her pawsnot coated in sticky honey. Their was honey she could smell that but some of the combs also contained larva and Luna was pretty sure she did not want to eat them.
She was covered in bees now and the constant angry buzzing was all she could hear, she had to swat several more away from her eyes after letting out a small yelp as one made it thrue her skin not far from her eye and yelped louder when one tried to sting inside her ear, but she managed to get the stringer out, accidentally crushing the bee. She looked back to the mansion a moment then back at the hole, swatting another bee from her eyes. Luna took a deep breath, yelped and spit a bee out and began to panic, accidentally firing her spray from her tail as she dropped and began to roll trying to get the bee's off of her. She had no idea where she had sent the shot but she was pretty sure she was not in range of anyone, maybe, she had not paid much attention she realized. This might have been a poor idea she realized. Maybe this was why her teachers kept telling her to plan things out.
