BEE KEEPING SKILLS STILL ALIVE - Eric Metz Retrieves Swarm From 80 Foot Pine

(05/11/2004)

Calhoun High School senior Eric Metz of Chloe had a busy day climbing an 80 foot pine tree to retrieve a swarm of honeybees. Metz cut down the swarm of bees from the very top of the pine tree in his back yard.

With the guidance of grandpa Frank Metz, a long time beekeeper, he was able to get the bees down and in a hive without getting stung once.
