Beeing Attractive

A woman “Marcia” left her job at the courthouse Thursday to find thousands of bees buzzing around her vehicle. She quickly got in and drove to the highway, where she hoped they would all fly off. Some, but not all did, so Marcia drove back downtown to a fire station. Firefighters called beekeepers. The beekeeper advised them over the phone to mist the bees with water. “The beekeeper said their wings will get heavy and they will fall off, and that is what happened and Marcia was able to drive away.” Beekeeper Mark Cardoza said it is the beginning of swarming season when much of the colony leaves with the older queen to form a new hive. He also told them they will likely reorganize somewhere else, and that is what they did, on a division chief’s SUV. The beekeeper said there were 1,500 bees on the fire vehicle, but said there were probably twice that on the woman’s car originally. He scooped them onto one of the slats for the beehive box until he got the queen. Once she was in, the rest followed. Most of them grouped up outside the box. Cardoza left the whole box at the station until nightfall, when the temperature dropped and they all went inside. Cardoza took them home and is working on nursing them back to health with sugar water. “Hopefully, they will survive and she will start laying eggs and build the hive out,” he said.
