SWARM of Bee's







As I was working out in the front flower beds this afternoon I hear my husband and his friend yell "quick get in the house!!!" I thought they were just trying to "play me" so I casually walked to the backyard as they screamed "GET IN THE HOUSE!" There was a HUGE swarm of bee's in our backyard-thousands of bee's. I have never seen such a sight. Terry said they came over in a huge cloud all together. They are hard to see in the pictures and only about 1/2 of them show up. We quickly grabbed the camera as they settled in a small tree next to our shed. For some added excitement Terry shot the bee bee gun into the tree. They seemed to be making a nest in the tree until Terry went to the store and bought more RAID! Our bug zapper was broken so that didn't help us.

That is pretty crazy, Jennifer (mom) named her chickens after bees.
