I once had two hives in my back yard (reg bees) and when we mail ordered some one time, the queen had died in route and her bees all died with her, not leaving her for a minute, surrounding her for protection, and died. It was fascinating and sad. but I am not sure I would like that swarm hanging out in my front yard, without a hive. I wonderful if the queen was there and there were others scouting out a good hive location? The story about the poor woman in her car is terrible, someone should ashamed of themselves for not coming to her attention!Kim Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835737810295355817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1151559382769802922006-06-28T22:36:00.000-07:002006-06-28T22:36:00.000-07:00OH Smee.This is creepy. *chuckle* I am terrified o...OH Smee.<BR/><BR/>This is creepy. *chuckle* I am terrified of bees.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad they moved on.<BR/><BR/>Goodness.<BR/><BR/>It's great to read you again!Lisa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01015215401481176075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1151552144343523872006-06-28T20:35:00.000-07:002006-06-28T20:35:00.000-07:00Boy - I was glad to read the last paragraph!

That was an *un*welcome home surprise.<BR/><BR/>I just finished listening to the audio book version of "The Secret Life of Bees" just last week. Interesting creatures they are. And, I thought the book was good (set in the segregated South in the 60s).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1151422909247990262006-06-27T08:41:00.000-07:002006-06-27T08:41:00.000-07:00Sarah, Welcome!

Big Brother worked at the theatre and knew all the ins and outs. He and his friend thought it would be grand to let go of 5 or 6 black birds they caught during the end of the school yard scene. Yup, hilarious that one! They got their effect and never were 'caught'. Scare the whooey out of everyone in that theatre.<BR/><BR/>Chronicler, where's the Big Guy when I need him? Everything we read desribed them both the same, except the honeys would be slightly smaller. ugh! And yeah on that whole queen bee scenario!<BR/><BR/>Oh Susan! The *idea* of bee keeping appeals to the hippy chick in me, but I don't think I could ever pull it off! I would love to read how your family was involved.

The queen decided your front yard was not a suitable location for the hive so off she flew this morning to find a new home. Everyone follows the queen.
