Check This Out
Came out of work at 2:30 today and found this on my truck. Drove ten miles down I-75 and still hanging on. Drove through a carwash and 1 hour across Lexington and still had a few.
Damnedest thing I ever seen.

I'd bet you have a nesting queen in that bed side or in that truck some where!
Watch your ass! We had a guy at work who's car had a swarm on it like that .. eventually they got inside and he got stung like 35-40 times in less than 30 seconds. Local "bee keeper club" came and removed the queen that was nesting in the space between the rear quarter panel and inner fender. They estimated he had been driving around with 25,000 bee's for a week or longer! |

The dude that did the collecting also climbed in the car with nothing more than a dust mask on as protective gear.. he was a little strange to say the least.. |

After thinking about, wish I could have located a local bee keeper to get'em. I didn't use a bomb, just a little interstate speed and some water.
They were on a guys truck today that was parked in the same spot I was yesterday, just not as many. Why is that?

Crap-ola. I didn't see any about 7:30 this evening. Guess I'll check tomorrow and see what happens.

I saw a swarm like that many years ago at Armco in New Miami. An old guy that I was working with scooped them into a cardboard box and took them home. He kept bee's and said he could mail order a queen for them.
