Too easy! :) Did you find the queen?

I had it happen to me once but it was a queenless swarm. The scent from my truck and old bee boxes attracted them.
Maybe I shouldn't leave my lemongrass oil in my cupholder.  :-D

LMAO!

Did you just stand there like "Yep... That's how I do it."

I bet the people who called you were amazed at your bee whispering powers.
