Crazy neighbor update .... Honey bee Mega swarm!

What happens here

After capturing the swarms, carefully inspect your beekeeping gloves for any embedded stingers. Using a hive tool or similar thin, flat object, gently scrape the stingers out of the glove. Josh notes that he had 25 stingers in his glove from the final, more agitated swarm. The pheromones released by these stingers can attract more bees or cause further aggression, so their removal is important. Happy Easter is mentioned, and the video ends with Josh and Mrs. Stony Ridge waving.

Goal: Ensure safety and complete the relocation process.
