Bee Swarm

We were enjoying dinner on the screened porch when I noticed something on the redbud tree in our back yard.  It was a huge mass of flying insects!  I was terrified!

After some searching I found that it was a bee swarm and lucky for me we have a bee keeper right down the street.  I drove down and knocked on his door and he was kind enough to come rescue the bees.  

It was incredible to watch him give these sweet pollinators a new home.  He estimated that there were 30,000 - 40,000 bees!  Nature is amazing.
