How neat! I hope they didn't kill them when they saw them.

It was touch and go for the bees. They tried to haul the rack away and that stirred the bees up again and the ass't mgr came out with a can of bug spray. I said to leave them till dark and then they could move the rack and honey bees have enough trouble with survival so please don't spray them. I didn't think they were listening so I went inside because I didn't want to witness the destruction but they decided to leave them and try to find someone to come collect them. Happy ending. :-)
