    Thanks, All Done!! WAS:Any BeeKeepers ...

    Quick question - Is anyone a beekeeper in Orlando, or nearby? We just found two fairly large (around a foot tall or so, one is slightly larger, one slightly smaller) bee "wads" in trees in the back yard, and I REALLY want someone to come get them and give them a new home.
