Bee Swarm
One afternoon Josh came running into the house and said he had something to show me outside. So he took me out to the tree in our front yard and showed me this...
We had a bee swarm in our tree!
It was the craziest thing to see so many bees all in one place. Josh found a bee keeper online and called him to see if he would help us out.
About a half hour later he showed up in his bee suit and was ready to take the bees from us. It took him about 45 minutes to get all the bees inside this box and bees were flying everywhere! I have to admit I was a little creeped out! But this guy had a lot of good information he passed on to us while he was working. He said that in a swarm like this there are about 15,000-20,000 bees! I couldn't believe there were that many! He also said that he has had a lot of calls about bee swarms in the last month or so. He told us that a lot of people lately have been buying bee swarms so that they could make their own honey, but then aren't educated on how to take care of the swarm as it gets bigger. So if the bees aren't in a big enough place or aren't taken care of then the whole swarm takes off and finds a new place. This particular swarm chose our front tree as their new home! Anyway, this guy was happy to have our bees. He packages and sells the honey that his bees make and was glad to add another swarm to his collection. We were very grateful too to have them out of our tree.
