I went to put some trash on the burn pile and noticed a swarm of bees on one of the logs. We called Jack and he came over to get them. He also checked to see if there was another swarm (by banging on a pan near the area they may be...so they will swarm in that area). Sure enough...a few minutes later he went back to check and found the swarm pictured below. So, I took pictures as Jack dropped them (literally with a quick shake of the branch) into the container.

So, the boys have been interested in the bees, but are afraid to get too close. Jack took care of that...
They are now ready (and excited) to go with Jack when he gets a call for the next swarm.
