Ready for another bee story? Tonight my husband got a call about another bee swarm pick up. He went out and set up the collection box on top of a ladder about 12 feet high. He got the queen and most of the bees into the box. He decided to wait until sunset, giving all the bees time to get back to the swarm. Doug decided to come home instead of hanging around waiting for sunset. During that time a young teenager was walking by the ladder that was leaning up against the big bush the bees where in. The owner of the house told him not to touch the ladder, getting ready to explain why, when the kid kicked the ladder out. The whole box flip over and landed on the boy's head. He had the entire hive of angry bees on his head. We asked if he was all right, but the home owner said the kid was running so fast down the street he didn't get a chance to ask. We all agreed that it will probably be the last time that kid kicks a ladder.
