Flooded with Bees

So this one was interesting. We had been having flash flooding alerts and it was raining hard. I guess when a colony decides to swarm not even really crummy weather can deter them! I decided to swing by this family's house and see what I could do. Sure enough there they were right out on the branch getting poured on. Poor bees. 

I didn't know whether they'd be in a bad mood because of all the rain. But when I dropped them into my hive box they all went inside very fast. I bet they appreciated having a dry place to be!
