Speaking of bees...

We have had a swarm of bees in our backyard for about 2 weeks that we can't get rid of. They just keep moving from place to place in the grass and up in our apple tree. It is very frightening as you can see by the looks on our faces. The picture doesn't do it justice, that circle of bees is about the size of a paper plate. They just buzz all around looking for a new home. We have contacted a beekeeper and animal control and they both said when it warms up they will take off but that has yet to happen. Luckily we don't have any kids playing around the backyard. Tony is slowly growing attached and says maybe we should keep them so it is funny Adam and Mindi are getting into this. Do you keep them in your yard? Is it hard to keep them? I need the details because it looks like I may be getting some new pets whether I like it or not...I will be like the girl on Fried Green Tomatoes!
