Our neighbors stopped us outside on Sunday to tell us about this crazy swarm of honey bees that came in that morning and took up residence in a tree by their front door. Of course we promptly headed over there to check it out. It was pretty cool.
However, they were not thrilled to have them in a tree that was right next to the front door so we gave them the number to Skidmore Apiary who we'd recently bought some honey from at the local farmers market. They called and he said that he'd been looking for something like that and he'd be there in 45 minutes.
I have never seen so many bees! They were non hostile, I could get as close as I wanted. They were much to busy building a comb to care about me.
The weird thing about this story is that when the bee guy showed up, they were standing there talking and the bees just up and flew off! As fast as they showed up, they disappeared! They had been there morning to night and only left the tiniest little comb behind.
