I love it!
Normally, the bee-threads are always "oh god, how did this get here i'm not good with bees". It's nice to see someone take action against the drat bees!

This thread makes me sad - those bees were probably from someone's hive, and had just swarmed off. Probably one of their neighbors, too. Anyone who has an apiary could probably have collected them safely, and gotten them back to useful, useful, honey production. Plus, honeybees are the sweetest, nicest bees.

Excellent, evocative imagery.

I felt like I was there, thinking "dumb bastard is gonna blow his hands off, I must watch"

Also, not a bee person, but isn't a bee swarm worth money to a bee-keeper? Like you call them and say "come get these bees" and they will do their bee thing and they will pay for them?

Yes, this too. They form swarms like that because they are protecting a new queen. A bee-keeper can come and collect them, and get a brand-new hive out of it. They'd probably do it for free, too, since bees are not cheap.
