We actually still have them but they should be gone later tonight.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago we noticed a few bees buzzing around an old wooden box we had out back.  I went over and opened it to look inside and didn&#8217;t see anything.  Then about a week ago Ann and Jenny saw some of them buzzing around near the same box but this time there were a lot.  Now we must take an intermission.<\/p>\n<p>While growing up in Tucson and going to Flowing Wells I had a friend named Roger Taylor.  He was with me from Kindergarten on up and graduated with me but I hadn&#8217;t seen him since then.  A few weeks ago I learned of a web site that is getting my class together for a reunion later this year.  On that site was a map that shows where everyone is.  Roger showed up as being in the San Fernando Valley not far from me.  I happened to exchange some messages with Lynette McGee who is still in touch with Roger and Mike Keller, another school mate.  They got a message to Roger to contact me so he did and we met for lunch.  I found out he is also interested in riding quads so I invited him to Pismo over this last weekend.  At that time I found out he was also a beekeeper.  Now back to the bee story.<\/p>\n<p>When we got back from Pismo we decided he should come and get the bees so today he did.  I learned some interesting things and got some great pics.
