Re: Bee Saga

That's too bad, Jim. They certainly look like a nice swarm. If school were in session, I'd suggest putting them in a glass box for Ms. Fatma's class to enjoy. OMSI in Portland had a display like this, fascinating, even for beekeepers.

So it turns out that beekeepers here don't take wild swarms any more because the Africanized killers are here. I've tried to tell them that this swarm is not hostile--I've been within 2 feet of it a couple of times--but it cuts no ice. So I called "bee rescue" this morning and they will be out this afternoon; $150.00!
