Care taker at a graveyard in Springfield, Mo.called and said there was a swarm on a cross in the graveyard and was afraid someone might get stung with Decoration Day coming up. This was in the same area that i got a swarm 2 yrs. ago,both within 100 ft. of where my grandfather and two of his brothers are buried (my great uncles). I'm beginning to wounder if they had a hand in it just to get me to visit?

.The cross was on a babies grave that died in 1873, the cross was about two foot tall with between 3 to 4 pounds of bees on it. I put a hive with some drawn comb next to it, took my scoop made from a bleach jug and scooped most of them in and started whistling Dixie and the rest marched right in, my kind of bees.
