What time of year? in the late spring early summer when the bees are content with good flows and the bees are calm. During a late summer dearth or into the fall and the bees may not be so receptive to cooperate. Basically easy to pull off if it is the bees natural swarming season. Other times of the year, use caution as the bees may be in no mood to cooperate.

Hi Robo! Thank you! And glad to hear from you too.

Apis, it will be during the first week in August. Thank you for that bit of information, I hadn't considered that.

Barbarian, actually we'll be discussing that at the next meeting in April. But that made me think of all the liabilities that go on at a county fair. Snake petting booths, Hold a monkey, bronco rodeo's, drunken brawls on Fri and Sat night, camel rides, elephant rides...

So I'm sure insurance would be in the equation.

Barbarian, thank you for your concern about the bees, I appreciate that  ;) 8)

Hi Les, Ha! We have a gal in the next town that did a bee beard, I'll have to ask her what she wore.
