Not exactly freakish.....

I was out on errands and running late as usual. When I got home, I saw the
car parked out in front. Ooops! The window salesman beat me home. I opened up
the gate and drove in. When I went back to close the gate, I notice a whole
mess of bees in my new bee space. (One hive and lots of equipment waiting for
the metal shed I bought to get put together.) The solar melter is here, too.
On the front of a stack of medium supers was a rather large amount of bees
and a bunch of drones. I had sat these supers on a bottom and put a top on
them to keep out bugs 'til I got to them. There was about a 4 bee opening and
I saw bees going in.  Remember, I was late to meet with the window guy, so I
went in the house, vowing to check it out later. The window saleman had a
sting on his arm and he told me he was a good 'ole country boy and it didn't
bother him. It seems when he drove up, he saw a swarm on the telephone pole.
By the time he gathered up his stuff and got out of the car, he stepped into
the middle of the swarm. My husband said it was wild looking. Here was the
guy surrounded by a cloud of bees. Well, those bees moved into my stack of
supers and I didn't lift a finger!
