NO NOT THE BEEEEES!!!!

So we were planning on leaving Austin Sunday morning But Saturday night Rob made a proposition that we couldn't turn down. He said he and his friend Eric were going to catch a swarm of bees and relocate them to a community garden at a bicycle collective in town. "Wait you're going to catch a swarm of bees and move them in the car with us to another part of town? WE'RE IN!"
Here's how it all went. Rob and Eric are friends with some people who work at the bicycle collective. There is a community garden behind the collective that is kept up by either the community or some of the bike collective volunteers (I'm a little fuzzy on that detail). It sounds like they expressed some interest in getting a bee hive for the garden. Rob recently did some research on bees and thought it would be fun to start a hive. After some brief searching on Craigslist he found a gentleman that had a swarm land in his back yard. The guy has kids and didn't want the hive forming in his backyard. The gentleman said a few people offered to come kill the bees for him, but he understands the importance of bees and he'd rather have someone come take them.
Saturday evening at Robs we made a bee mask out of Mosquito netting and Brooks' Motorcycle Helmet.



Sean really likes dogs.




The next evening we went to the house that the bees had swarmed to and we started to suit up.


Shaun's like a kid in a candy shop.



















The guy who's bees we took.



We taped up the box and put it in the car and drove about 30 minutes to the community garden and put the box next to their new hive. There is something really terrifying about driving in a car that has a box that quietly hums with several hundred honey bees in it.

MOAR!!!!!
