Cutout on July 14
« on: July 15, 2009, 01:31:01 pm »
Larry Tate and his wife, along with Ski and myself, doing a cut out in Winston Salem, NC.

Small colony, about 7 or 8 combs, between 2X6's and average 18 inches long. between floor joists. We have our doubts about having the queen. Won't know for sure for a few days.

Thanks, Iddee.  Good pics. 

I am sure you get asked this often, but how often do you/did you get stung? 

I try to work w/o my suit/veil, but something bad always seems to happen LOL.  I hate wearing the junk, but I also hate being swollen.  Ha...  Even so, I somehow succeed in getting stung at least once every other day, or so.

One sting from an attack. Two more stings from mashing bees.
That's during 6 1/2 hours from arrival to departure.

That is pretty amazing. 

How did you get by with only 1 sting from an attack?  Tell me your secret, Iddee.  LOL

Did you sing to 'em?  What?   :-D :?

Very nice...your crew looks very professional..Iddee, so after you complete your cutout...do you leave the hive outside near where the entrance to catch the stragglers and then seal it up and bring it home at night?

This one I did. Every cutout is different. Some I do, some I don't.
