Swarms of gruntled bees have taken over our deck, W+K employees fight back run for their lives.
A beekeeper has been called to the scene.
The beekeeper and his wife say that they are going to take them, and smash them individually with their gloved fists and they will produce honey for them in about a year.
He says the Queen Bee left their original hive, and the workers followed her here. They're looking for a new hive. The reason they are all on the tree is they worker bees are all clustered around her sweet smelling Queenness.
"Just be careful up there." –Justin Lowe
Could be worse- they could be DISgruntled.

Holy bejeebus. That's a lot of bees. Quite possibly the most interesting thing to happen in Portland in ages.
