    When I left the scene, Mike Bergren of field services with the city of Ann Arbor was there, had called in a bee keeper, who was awaiting arrival of equipment.

    The photo is amazing. Bummer for the person who needed to ride that bike!

    I’ve captured a few swarms, and they are not in a stinging mood generally speaking – unless they have swarmed a few days ago and still haven’t found a new home. Then they get a little pissy. So glad they were removed by beekeepers! These marvelous creatures need our support.
