It's the Bees!

Our neighbor brothers stopped by the house and told us there was a swarm of bees by their house so the grandkid's Poppy and a little more cautious photographer headed that direction to check it out. Not sure if this is stupidity or bravery but Poppy climbed up on a ladder to take a close up picture. He could even touch them and they didn't notice. So he decided the was going to try to put them in a box.

This is what a swarm of bees look like. One large mass of bees. He did shake the bees off into a box but alas they escaped. But not before one of them stung him. Well, that was an experience I'm not sure I want to photograph again.
