Save the bees!

Leave them alone and they'll find a new home taking their stingers with them.

No they're not, that's been put to rest and the cause was discovered.

Whatever. Just get rid of whatever is yellow, and the bee’s will leave. Bee’s love yellow.

That's what I was thinking. I caught a swarm in my backyard this Spring. It all looked good, then the next morning they packed up and left en masse. Haven't seen them since. Pretty sure that they were my own bees.
