Special Delivery? - The Republican Newspaper
One is often surprised when checking to see what might be in the mailbox each day; however, a resident along Old Crellin Road was somewhat shocked to see what had arrived at his mailbox Sunday afternoon. A queen honey bee evidently decided to move her family of several thousand workers (and a few drones) into some new digs, and in that big move elected to have her swarm take a rest on the mailbox post. Called to the scene was Hop Cassidy, regional state bee inspector for Garrett and Allegany counties, pictured above. Hop was then successful in placing the swarm into a hive box and adding them to his personal apiary. No stings were reported. Photo by Glenn Tolbert.
