Collecting a Swarm of Bees from a Pomegranate Tree

You may be interested in seeing a video I just posted on Youtube for some of my friends around the world to see. I had to laugh the other day because I was at our Model RC clubs' flying field when a swarm of bees flew by us. Me, who was frightened to death of these little creatures at one time, was sounding like the expert on bees, shouting to my friends to "just leave them alone, and they will fly right by" . I told them that if one of them were to have a bee land on them, "not to swat it, and that it would not sting them".

Just think, all of this pseudo "expert" advise I was handing out came from the great education you gave me while I was taking this video of you removing the bees from our pomegranate tree. My friends were impressed, and after the swarm flew by (not stinging anyone), I started to explain how important the bees are to our food supply.

Take care, and keep up the great work.
