I hope they don’t bite me

 

It’s funny, some people say I hope they don’t bite me.  What they really mean is, they hope they don’t get stung.  We picked up this swarm in Salt Lake.  It was a bit bigger than I thought it would be.  We told the woman that there would be bees around for a few days. That is when she said, “I hope they don’t bite me.”  After years of doing this and hearing people say that we just went with it.  Very calm bees though.  They actually ran up the side of the nuc to get inside.
