Beeeeeeeeeees !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few weeks ago Lisa and her students had a surprise with a swarm of honey bees. Not just a few, but holy cow numbers. So when I got home it was you take care of this quickly. So started to move things in the barn and saw this to start with.

Then decided I needed better protection. ( Anyone that knows me for more than a day knows what I was dressed in - shorts and t-shirt)

Then moved the shelf and found this. Not to excited to take care of it. But I did it anyway. Only 2 stings on my hand, not to bad.

As you can see from the stud cavity on the left this has happened before with the previous family, maybe next year we give them a hive out by the road. Then we can have some honey and the garden can be pollinated.
