Beekeeper Recovers 30 000 Bees From City Swarms
Beekeeper Bill Rooney relocated two swarms in Biddeford, one under a cave and another on a lilac bush behind St. Demetrios Church. He loaded about 30 000 bees into a box and later moved them to his Dayton farm, joining seven hives and producing honey he and his wife eat. Rooney notes swarms thrive for bigger homes, while local responders value his help.
