Bees!

We had an interesting adventure late last week.

We were out in the side yard for a short afternoon break Boy was feeling the grass and the dog was running around. Just a nice little family break. We decided it was time to grab some dinner so we came inside to freshen up and get ready to go. A few minutes later I hear Janey say “We can’t go out there!!!”.

I went to the window to see what she was talking about and there were thousands of bees swarming our yard. I mean thousands… tons. it looked like a crazy horror movie.

So… to make a long story short, I was referred to a local bee keeper who was only too happy to come and get the colony that was trying to make my tree home.

Here’s a video of the action.

This was only the first basket of bees they pulled out of the tree. I’d say there was at least two more baskets full. Just crazy.
