I helped my son capture another swarm of honeybees yesterday, and I must be getting better at it, I didn't get stung this time! I usually wear a navy blue, or black T-shirt, and shorts, but ,in deference to the bees, I wore a white T-shirt, and I think that helped. The bees seem to NOT like dark colors! I should contract Omar the Tentmaker about a "real" bee-keepers suit for me, I guess. I seem to be doing about as much bee work as my son is. I have a "veil", but don't usually wear it. We can't figure where these "late" swarms are coming from, but we'll take them ! I'll have to get a small aloe to pot up as a "house plant", and keep over at the son's garage, so it's handy....Arlyn
