This morning, while much of Genesee was still asleep, we were abuzz with excitement at the brick house. Friends Tim, Dan, and Colby came to help extract the honeybees from the soffit. Tim raises honeybees on his homestead, so he offered to come and help with the venture and take the insects home with him. After suiting up and climbing the scaffold (no small feat for Tim who sprained his ankle a couple of days ago), the guys tore off gutters and shingles and the honeycomb was revealed. They were all covered with bees as they gathered the swarm into buckets for travel. After an hour and a half of working, it was deemed a success.

| Colby wears many hats. Right after this pic, he put his Genesee Reds cap on and went to coach his team at a tournament. |

| And you thought pegging pants was cool. This get-up is the bees knees. |
Shout out to bees.
