Police Chief George Grubb*
received an urgent phone call
Mondag afternoon asking for
assistance at 730 East Street.
After listening to the plea,
Grubbs scratched his head and
decided that it was one call he
couldn’t handle!
Anyway, he went to investi-
gate and found Mrs. John
Pearce and children in their
home .. . with the screen doors
and windows securely fastened;
as an angry swarm of hees had
paused momentarily on the side
of the family home, found an
opening in the window sill and
were fast filling the space be-
tween the sill!
, Grubbs tried in vain to lo-
cate a local man who might
- have ntfme knowledge of hand-
ling bees when swarming, but
it seems no one in Graham
knhw how to handle them.
The unwelcome guests re-
mained in the window sill Wed-
nesday afternoon, and appar-
ently had settled down in their
adopted beehive making honey.
Any suggestions will be wel-
comed by Mr. and Mrs. Pearce
on the safe transfer of the bees
to a new location!
