I was reminded of a swarm that I lost years ago at dusk. Hived
the swarm with no problems, but decided to wait until dusk to
take the hive home. Gave no thought to the mercury vapor light on
the pole overhead. Guess where all the bees went when darkness
turned the light on? Talk about shock and awe!
Live and learn.
