This trucker in Albuquerque, NM turned on his AC but nothing happened, so he opened up his trailer to check it out and faced a huge swarm of bees.

It's beautiful! I loved the spiral combs...

Got me into thinking about building a sacred geometry hive... hmm....

Not really in touch with the philosophy of natural beekeeping but maybe some forms of art require some sacrifice

Wish that the article about the trucker went into more detail -- it said the responding beekeeper got "13 hives" out of "40 pounds of bees" but no word about how many queens he found.

If you follow the chain of blog posts you can get to more details about the spiral hive and the process:
