I was hangin' out in the Fl Keys weaving baskets to sell to tourists, and the son of my good friend, Jim, the beekeeper (about 400 hives) was gone to college for 4 yrs, so he needed a hand and then one thing led to another... One thing was, that I was a real tree-climber. So I would climb up tall trees to recover the bee swarms that got away. Usually, bees are a lot easier to deal with than people!
