Ron Tarver sent the photos to the Bark, giving this explanation:
bees swarmed from a nearby hive. chris [Andersen] cut off the limbs that they were clinging, and then put them n the limb into a large box later to be put into hive box located somewhere within neighborhood in a back yard.

The 20th annual Baker Bargains Bonanza, a neighborhood-wide yard sale, is this Saturday, June 13!
With this event only days away, we thought it would be a good idea to suggest some “dos and don’ts” to refresh the seasoned yard-saler as well as provide an introduction for novice buyers and sellers. (Our thanks go out to Baker neighbor Gary Giem who has been successfully buying and selling at yard and estate sales for several years.)

Baker oenophiles rejoice! Restaurateur Jesse Morreale announced Sunday that he plans to open his new wine bar, Sketch, on Friday, March 20.
“A true wine bar, Sketch will be reminiscent of a Mediterranean café in Italy, and the first space to open in the newly acquired 1st Avenue Hotel, located at the corner of Broadway and 1st Avenue, in the heart of the quickly growing Broadway entertainment district,” read a statement from Morreale’s company, M Inc.
Morreales and his team currently operate a number of Denver restaurants, including Tambien, Rockbar and Mezcal, which was lauded in last Sunday’s Denver Post as an early leader in the East Colfax renaissance.
