Title: North Howard Bee Removal (May 6, 2012)
Post by: JP on May 07, 2012, 09:39:07 am
On my day off, what am I doing? Removing bees of course! Guy called Saturday night while I was doing a hellacious removal in Raceland, Louisiana. (More about that one later!)

I told him I would stop by just to look but after I saw the set up I just couldn't resist the temptation to deal with them on the spot. Going to the bee yard to set them up in a few minutes.

BTW, they are now in a deep/medium set up. Our swarms are getting wayyyy big now folks!

Good job! I've been three days without a swarm call.... and loving it. All out of lids and need to make lots more. It's been an insane spring here so far.

Nice job, thanks for the video. Did you have to give them a couple of days to get them all moved over?

I went back that night & they were all in the set up. Put them on my truck & brought them to the bee yard Yesterday morning.
