The Men in the White Suits Paid Us a Visit Today!

We had a swarm of honeybees gather in our neighbor's tree just to the west of our house on Thursday. I called a parent we had last year at school who happens to be a beekeeper, and the local beekeeping association came and collected them. Actually, they sucked them right out of the tree with a modified shop vac. This way, the bees can go on making honey in a productive hive in a safer place, and no one got stung, which was the best part!
