The Baker Bark

Baker residents Ben Olsen and Rob McGowan, founders of Fin Art, a design and woodworking collaborative, make furniture from discarded materials they find in the alleys of Baker. Ben and Rob have their first show at Fancy Tiger on Oct. 2. Click here for details.

Bees massed in a tree on First Avenue on Tuesday.

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.

Ron’s estimate: 10,000 bees
