Congratulations. I got a nice one at a Burger King once. They gave me coupons for free food.

I caught a swarm once that I had previously passed up because they were on a limb high in a pecan tree. After they hung there for five days in the pouring rain I felt sorry for them and got creative and hived them.

Be careful that you don't mix any honey surplus from that hive with the others.  They only produce "honey sauce"!!
:-D

Oh wait...that's KFC.....
