Kevin, my grandparents were bee keepers when I was growing up many years ago. My grandmother had a saying: a swarm in April is worth a spoonful A swarm in May is worth a bale of hay A swarm in June will fill a spoon But a swarm in July , kiss them goodby. The meaning behind each line was how much honey that swarm would produce that year and it's value. The July swarms generally wouldn't produce enough to get through the winter or be of value. Of course we lived in an area that saw winters that could get below zero. I hope you were able to get the Queen into the hive.

Sweetie,they don't bite, they sting & in so doing they lose their life as their innards are attached to the sting (barb).To remove the sting don't pull it off take a knife(or even a credit card,something stiff) & scrape it off. That way you're not getting more "poison" into your system & will get better sooner. If allergic you'll need an epipen or medical assistance.

Hello from Northeast Georgia! Fantastic video! My first house was a split level and, though we didn’t realize the ramifications, had a well-established bee swarm between the two floors. They entered and exited next to our front door, but never bothered us. After our first child was born, we decided we might ought to get rid of our “nest.” After finding out no beekeeper would/could retrieve the bees in a house, we called an exterminator who didn’t know what he was getting into, either. He quoted me a price for getting rid of them. After many attempts, he drilled holes into the ceiling downstairs and sprayed. The hive reached 2/3 the width of the house. I had honey dripping from the ceiling and puddling in the light fixtures! A couple of years after we eliminated them, we had a swarm land in the top of a large oak tree in the yard. We squirted them with water and shot BB guns in the tree until they left. We only kept the house a few years, but I’ve often wondered if bees ever tried to get back in there.
