This one was a rough one. We started it on Sunday and finished it on Monday.
The bees are a bit feisty and are still head butting in the bee yard. I'll give them a few weeks to calm down (I don't have to worry much about the drones mating with my stock right now) but if they're still hot I'll requeen!

80's in December! The police are coming to get you for being a public nusiance LOL. Love it!! Thanks for another great video :)

A sweet sticky day. Good job finding that queen. I would have bet they were hot from being queenless. If they stay hot, pinch her fast. Great video.

Heckuva job Scott!
Was a trapout out of the question?
-
The plaza owner wanted them GONE!! Even if a trap out could have been an option I wouldn't have tried it. The hive beetles would have made a mess of things and this is not only an hour drive for us but in a bad area of town. The voices you hear in the background (although I cut most of them out) are the homeless guys that gathered around. Needless to say we kept a pretty close eye on 'em.
I was packin' a .45 and my sweet little kel-tec 9mm just in case :-D

Lol. Never leave home without mine either.

Always love your videos. You must have quite a few hives by now :)
-
when you do a cutout like this do you also do the building repairs?
-
We can do repairs (I'm a Certified Building Contractor too) but often the owners have a carpenter/maintenance person that will repair it for them at a better price.

get you some signs printed that say "CAUTION! BEES!" that'll take care of the homeless problem in the area while you're doing the cutout
