Last week, I received a call from a customer who had been referred to me by the 911 dispatcher on the other end of his frantic phone call about a swarm of bees in his tree.\u00a0 I removed the swarm fairly quickly – and as I was about to leave he says “My neighbor has bees, too – up in their eve.”<\/p>\n
