Title: Richard's bees
Post by: hardwood on May 28, 2012, 09:15:49 pm

What started out as a typical block wall removal turned into anything but typical! Evidently, as I started tearing into the wall the queen and most of the bees moved off across the block work to remote areas in the wall. We finally got them out the next day as a swarm.

I enjoyed the video but it looked like a lot of hard work!

Sure glad we don have that cinder block construction around here.

Good job running those bees out, very smart how you accompished that.

Good video.   Hate to be the block mason that has to follow you around.   :-D

Awesome video guys! Reminds me of the one Schawee & I did in the diesel engine but that swarm was much more accessible! Expert bee removal at its finest!

I really learn a lot from your videos, Scott, because you show us how you access the bees, and you tell us what you're thinking as you do it. I find that VERY helpful. Thanks.
