Big problem with Wichita group. Bees moved into the nest box & they had not yet found a new sleep site.

Ben took ladder back, talked to Su Nilo, living at Pesagro, & found beekeeper, burned out bees & moved nest box while Beate led the micos around the box with food, so that they wouldn't freak out.

They eventually went to sleep in new box
