Awesome bee pictorial. I’m on the waiting list with the local bee club to acquire a colony when one becomes available after having been removed.
Please put me on your gardening ping list.
Thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did a cutout 3 days ago that was a breeze ... lots of bees, but only two small pieces of comb. It was a new swarm that had moved into a wall and was just beginning to build.
I have a removal coming up Saturday morning that I am dreading. I know the hive is at least 7 years old and is at least 8-9 feet long and 2-4 feet wide. We won't know exactly until we start removing siding, but I'm guessing at least 1/4 million bees. Will probably make 2 or 3 hives out of that one as I have some queens we're raising in nucs right now.
