My apologies to anyone who is bee-phobic. Just scroll past.
We had a swarm of bees in our back yard today! A huge one! 6+ feet straight up of beeeeeeeeees. I could hear the buzzing from inside the house.
We found a local Bee Guy, who came over and collected them. He just scooped them off of the apple tree branches they were on, into bee boxes. The boxes are currently sitting in the back yard, and he'll come back later tonight to get them, after the bees have settled down.
Bee Guy said that it looks like they had just started swarming, following their queen to start a new hive, so we caught them at the exact right time for them to be moved.
BEEEEEEEES.
(I like bees. They pollinate! They make honey!)
(And yes, my brain went straight to Jupiter Ascending and "Bees can sense royalty". Because OF COURSE! <I>::GRIN::</I>
