Closing day….a day to remember.
I remember the day we closed on our house. We were renters for
the first time in years. (If the USAF counts as landlords) And then this
happened:

Now, I don’t mind sharing our world with honeybees. They
make sweet fruit and nuts and honey and lots of other yummies. I was just
really not crazy about them camping out so close to our front door. Our guest
had to leave by the back door and walk around the other side of the house to
get to the bright yellow convertible she parked in the driveway. Fortunately,
the swarm was more interested in checking out their chosen digs and such than
in figuring out if the yellow was food.
Of course, bees swarming in a
bush or tree have visited before at our house. It must be because we were close
to a large county park. The difference this time is the bees decided to stay
overnight. Two days later and several visits from a grateful bee keeper, we
were grateful to not have that problem to solve. I’m sure the new queen and her
workers are furiously building a new hive in a much more convenient location
for all. We’re enjoying our new location also!
