Did this removal last week, less than two miles from our house.
Open air hive under the eaves about 25 - 30 feet up. They had been here less than a week...
Nice new white comb...
Home made bee vac set up...not very pretty but it works well...duct tape is my friend...
Left a little comb while I cleaned up a little and let the queen settle down...
I found her! First time to find the queen doing a removal...but not on the comb I left, she was 8 inches away where the comb had been scraped off...
Box-O-Bees...
This hive is off to a great start.
Shalom!
