Title: felled tree and oilfield equipment
Post by: duck on April 22, 2012, 09:51:58 pm

checked out a snag that homeowner had felled.  top half exploded with bees everywhere.  it had six or seven fresh pieces of white comb in there.  threw down a nuc.

then went to check out some oilfield equipment scheduled for tear down.  this one will be a good one.

I would be leary of doing swarm removals where you live-be careful :)
