Title: Veteran's Day removal
Post by: hardwood on November 11, 2010, 10:32:26 pm
The bees were in an old house destined to be torched as practice for the local Fire Department. This made it a little easier as I knew the siding wasn't to be restored and I could be a little less gentle with it. The best part is that the house is adjacent to and owned by an auto repair shop so I was able to barter my fees for new ball joints on my truck :)

The bees were gentle at first but turned pissy pretty soon after opening them up. It was a smallish colony with very little honey and during a dearth so I really can't blame them for that.

Bees for ball joints?   Don't let the government find out or they will try and tax your balls off.   :-D

If they are going to tear the house down, you should have used the chain saw to open that wall up.  Good video.

Looked like they wanted to eat your lunch!

Glad Peg is doing better.
