Swarms of gruntled bees have taken over our deck, W+K employees fight back run for their lives.

>UPDATE 2:05PM
A beekeeper has been called to the scene.
>UPDATE 2:16PM:
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.
>UPDATE 2:33PM:
"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.
