   A wild swarm attatched to the bottom of this air conditioner on the back of a store in the middle of Hemingway. This is August, with temperatures hovering near 100, but the owner says they gotta’ go.

   I’d like to save ‘em, too. They are beautiful, healthy bees. Most wild bees I see are sick (and dying) with varroa mites. I would guess that they moved here in April.
