Remember I mentioned that bees have moved into the hollow part of the cottonwood tree out back?  This afternoon Tom was minding his own business (raking outside the fence on 37th Ave.) when he was attacked by bees.  I got to play nurse and pulled a number of stingers out of his neck and scalp.

Plus I've already gotten the number of a beekeeper to come and take them elsewhere, and Tom is calling him right now to set up a date and time for their removal.  Obviously the sooner the better...
