We had the oddest occurrence happen in our yard this week. We had a swarm of bees take up residence in the tree above our driveway. It is really rare for this to occur in the Fall. It normally happens in the Spring when there is more than one queen, so a group leaves with the second queen to find a new hive. These bees decided to form an open-aired hive on our tree. It would not have ended well for them when Winter came. Fortunately, I remembered this happening in our neighborhood a couple of years ago. They had a bee keeper come pick up the swarm. I called the same man and he came straight out to get them. He's going to try to keep them alive through the Winter.
