Post by: bailey on March 06, 2009, 09:17:20 PM
got a call today while doing computer work for my job, wanted a break and got a good one!!
local law enforcement called with contact info for the client.   
called her and got the address.  hot footed it into town and had a 5 lb swarm waiting!
quick fifty bucks for 20 minutes plus very nice bees!

The only problem with that is the corner is still a ways down the road.  ;)
