Bee guy's truck. BTW, bee guy is supposed to come back again to try to collect the bees, but they are not in the hive! They are in a giant ball in the tree next to the one he cut down yesterday. May need to call Georgia Pacific to come cut down all our trees this week. Anyway, bee guy said they'd go in the hive unless we had a thunder storm. Well, they were going in all day and it started thundering about an hour ago. I think we need to be moving on to plan E here. Oh, and when this started, I had Italian bees, but now we have native bees AND German bees and they are fighting! We've got a veritable bee war going on around our house. He says bees smell the honey and hive disturbance within ten miles. They'll duke it out over the hive and the best bees will win. I doubt it as the bees are drinking all the sugar water he's mixing and flying off into the woods. lol Obviously the mason is getting a little ticked about not being able to start and would be happy to throw a bag of 10% Sevin over the whole chimney and call it a day.
