Late Evening Swarm 911 Call
« on: March 21, 2009, 11:05:57 pm »
So the 911 dispatch operator calls to say there are bees at such and such location stinging everyone in sight.

Followed by a call from one of the business owners at this location who says bees are not stinging anyone.

Bees were nice and gentle, about 4 lbs or so worth.

Those are nice we finally have some tulips that started blooming.  I kind of hope it stays cool until my bees get here so they have something to gather.
