Beekeeper removing the swarm on our fence in 15 minutes

First swarm (4/28/11) on our children's small plastic slide. After we tried to make them go away (do not attempt, we found out afterwards that they will go away on their own in 24-48 hours as they are trying to find a location for their hive. The queen is in the swarm. Also, amazingly, they are pretty docile... just trying to find home-sweet-home.

Second swarm of bees! May 12, 2011 We took the advice of our local pest control and called a beekeeper found in the KSL (Utah) classifieds. He came and as this video shows, 15 minutes later, most of them were going home with him!
