Wow. I'm about to become a beekeeper.
Or at least a beekeeper's helper.
Mrs. Robb is making a mad nighttime dash to grab a bee box to swoop up a swarm on our neighbor's tree. She kept bees in the Peace Corps, and while rusty she claims she knows just how to get these little dudes making honey for us. Plus, it couldn't hurt the apple and peach trees to have a local bee presence. Anyone have any tips? Apparently in about a half hour I'll be holding a flashlight and gently cutting off a branch.
