    Hawkeye Rescues our
      Tree Climbing Program...


Petie the wonder squirrel homeless!
Have you heard the story of "PETIE"the wonderful little trained squirrel who helps us get our ropes up in the trees in our Technical Tree Climbing Program?  He had strangers move into his house!  Our tree climbing staff put the house for Pete up in the top of our tree so he could move in and hang out with us, but low and behold a whole swarm of Honey Bees moved in instead!  They were not real happy about us climbing their tree so Tom Zavata, "Hawkeye" our adventure programmer lowered Pete's house bees and all to the ground. 

Amazingly Tom did not get stung!  When their home was threatenedhoney bee comb the bees all gorged on the honey and headed out.  They couldn't sting Tom because once they are full of honey they can't bend their abdomen to get the stinger in the right position!  They moved on to a new home and Tom and his family spun the last bit of honey for tasting and melted the honey comb into wax.
