Picked up a small swarm at the NC zoo tonight. About 2 1/2 lb. in a small pine tree 14 ft. up. 25 feet outside the grizzly bear habitat. Another 30 feet and they could keep them. :shock: :shock: :shock:
One sting on top of head. "probably broke the stinger off on that rock".
Numerous bees stinging as they went down my shirt.

Today was the first two I got to keep. All the others were caught for other beeks in their yard.
I have seen or heard about any swarm around Warren ,Arkansas yet but I am hoping that I can get a swarm this year

By my math, that would mean you'd be willing to go up to 4 feet 11 inches into grizzly bear habitat for the bees... which is about 5 feet further than I'd go. :shock:
:-P :-P :-P
