Nice video, too bad you had to pass on the second swarm.

With the mild winter we've had I am hoping for a mega swarm year. Last year was a dud around these parts. These videos keep me pumped!

Kinda glad to see you passed on that higher swarm. Your skinny but you'd still put a pretty good dent in the ground falling from 20' up and then who would give JP a run for the money. :-D

Nice job, thanks for the video. How's the house rebuilding going?

Nice work, Scott. That got me a little more fired up. ;)

I know that was a swarm and they're supposed to be gentle, but handling them and shaking them....it looked like you might have had bee love made to you a time or two...any stings?

Took a few stings but, as always, most were my fault! As far as bee love goes....why do you think I call Peggy "Honey" :-D
