New Colony From Turn of the Century Home
« on: April 22, 2008, 12:58:03 am »
Got a call today from a guy that had a colony living in a half wall on a back porch laundry room. It was an easy one. I even got to sit down while I did it. Wish they were all this easy. Got about 7 pounds of bee out of this one. My swarm box was heavy. I didn't take the photos the owner did. He got a little camera happy. Really nice guy! Enjoy all 60 photos!

Wow, I wish they all were just like that one! That would be a great area to make an observation hive.

Hey, those gloves look mighty familiar. ;)

Glad you're having fun and getting paid for it!

Hey Bro,

Love the gloves. They are the best. Won't use the leather ones ever again. Thanks for the tip!!!   G!

JP gets his at Home Depot, I think, but when I went to home depot out here they did not have this style.

I would love a pair if I can find them. Will have to look around further.
