    Crazy Sunday in the backyard!!!

    So a week ago I noticed I had a big flowerpot that had some bees sitting on top of it. I went and spent a week at church camp with my son and 200 other nine and 10-year-olds. When I went out to work in the yard this weekend I noticed that the bees were still there and there was a few more with them. I didn't want to exterminate the bees so I called a beekeeper to come and help me. I told him I could only see 100 or so bees so I didn't think it was that big a deal. This is probably a 10 or 12 gallon flowerpot.
    He estimated 10K to 20K bees in the hive.
    Most of the bees were vacuumed up and me and my son have been eating honey and chewing the wax.

            I forgot to mention the pot was upside down.
            It's probably a 12 gal pot.

                              I think I'm going to flip over some pots at the house and see what happens.
