Honeybees....
Last Friday we had a little excitement around our house. Honeybees had taken up residence overnight on the limb of a tree that borders our property. They were in the form of a swarm and in the midst of looking for a home.I learned so much about bees from this little encounter! After contacting our local Beekeepers Society they immediately responded. I described our situation and the next morning a man showed up with a small amount of equipment in tow. Within an hour, ninety percent of the 3,000+ honeybees were in a shoebox! And not one bee sting occurred. It really is true that they won't bite you if you don't scare them...so don't swat at those bees and they'll leave you alone! Here are a few pictures of the procedure:

Very Cool! I'm glad no one got stung but too bad you didn't get any honey!=)

Bethany,
I just finished reading the secret life of bees. It has a lot of great info about bees that I never knew before and was a very good story.
