Bye Bye Bees

The bees were still there when we got home this weekend. Daddy was so brave and took another picture. Mommy called a beekeeper this morning and they sent a lady over right away.
This was the first swarm she has collected. She did a great job. She captured the queen bee right away and then most of them went in the box. She estimated there were about 50,000 bees. Mommy was way off with her estimate of 1,000.
There are still a few bees left and we hope they find their way back to their original hive. We will stay inside today and venture out when they are all gone.
