Jannett Cancella, co-ower of Bees Are My Business in Destrehan, removes a honeybee swarm that took up residence in a red-tip shrub across Derbigny Street from the Jefferson Parish Government Center in Gretna on Wednesday. The parish summonsed her to remove the hive after learning of it about 8 a.m., Wednesday. Undaunted, Cancella went straight to work with her vacuum system through which she sucked the bees into a customized cage for transport to her bee farm in Paradis, on St. Charles Parish's west bank. She was stung only once, after which she donned a protective hat. (Paul Purpura, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
