Yep, I see you training him the Iddee way!  :-D

I see honey stains under the oldest section of hive. Were they sprayed once before?

Way cool, monster hive.

How did you know to pull down that much soffit?

Jp, the ones last year were sprayed and killed. There was an inch of debris on the window sill where this year's swarm had cleaned the old comb.

D., we removed the soffit in full pieces so it could easily be put back.The two pieces were joined in the middle of the hive.

I've been trying to "train" Peggy to do removals topless too...to no avail. Imagine the youtube hits I'd get!

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I just want to see the knots on your head when she sees that post.
