Mrs. Charles Morgan made a startling discovery recently when she investigated a fierce buzzing sound in her front yard. Upon looking out she saw a swarm of bees, probably several hundred, circling the yard finally landing in a tree. The bees stayed there all night until Maurice Morel came for them the next day. Mrs. Morgan had called the county agent, B.C. Kohrs, to send someone for the bees. Mrs. Morgan said that the men took the entire swarm with no injuries. According to Morel, bees do not sting when swarming, and it is a simple matter after the queen bee is in the box. It was a mystery where they had come from.
