Bees!!!

The other morning, I was looking out my window and saw a thick swarm of bugs in my back yard. I couldn't tell for sure what it was, so I stepped outside, and could hear a loud buzzing. I called my neighbors to come and check it out. It was so crazy! We thought they were going to get us, so we ran inside. Eventually the bees all settled in one of my trees. You might have to enlarge the picture to check it out, but there was a whole lot of bees! What my camera didn't pick up was the hundreds of bees that were still flying around the air. It really was creepy! I found some bee keepers that were happy to come and get them for me.
It was pretty crazy to see these guys grabbing handfuls of bees and tossing them in a bucket. They thought they got most of them, but the next morning I still had a ton of bees, so they had to head back to get the rest of them. Pretty crazy huh?
