Yeah. There was a restaurant near me that had a hive in their ceiling, and the whole store smelled like banana

I’m not sure that I would classify that as “proof”. In my life, I have patronized many restaurants that had beehives present, none of which smelled like bananas.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that I would like to see some evidence that’s a little bit more substantial/conclusive.

Edit: removed the patronizing part

You know, as I was typing that out, I was thinking "why would anyone believe me".

The complete events that unfolded sound like a story where everyone clapped for me, so instead of sounding like a kid making shit up, I'll just say, it smelled like bananas, I told someone the bees thing, and a week later the place shut down for a few days while a massive honeycomb/hive was removed from the ceiling.

I read about the smell on cracked in like 2008 and just parroted the info later, which turned out to be true, at least in this case.
