So, the bee saga continued into Friday. Our neighbor Jim called around and found a bee keeper that lives about a mile from us. They came out right away and attracted quite the crowd. Here is another close up of the bees before they tried to catch them.
The bee keeper suited up and headed into the tree along with his box. It was amazing how he shook the tree and thousands of bees fell inside. Peyton and I caught an up close and personal view from our driveway.
Because of the strong wind on Friday the box that they were catching the bees in blew down in the wind. This was amazing to see. The two bee keepers just kept scooping the bees up and putting handfuls back into the box. By the end of the day most of the bees had decided to leave the tree and go into the box.
Friday evening the bee keeper came back to get the box and bring them to her bee farm. We found out over the weekend that they bees had left
their hive there. We are all crossing our fingers we don't see them swarm around here again.
