A bee removal expert took care of the thousands of bees that had been busy building a huge hive in a Cypress woman’s front yard.
One beekeeper told Cheryl Best that 100,000 bees were living in the hive.
That all changed Friday with the help of bee expert Anthony Samilo.
“We call this a tree hugger, bees that build on the sides of trees,” he said. “The bees are going to get plenty aggressive when I get up there, and they are probably going to attack anybody on the ground.”
When the bees started to swarm, curious neighbors who were watching soon went inside, and left Samilo to handle the removal. Armed with a shop vac and perched on a cherry picker high in the air, Samilo patiently vaccumed all the bees. He seemed to ignore the pain from multiple stings.

We used a shop vac to remove the denizens of a nest of burrowing wasps. We plugged the end of the hose afterwards and I left the shop vac in a shed for a couple of weeks, then decided to open it up and get some dead wasps for my grand daughter to take to school for their science class.
All we found was one dead wasp and lots of parts...Apparently they ate each other.

They didn’t even get the consolation prize of a bathtub-worth of honey I guess.

Given the whole colony-collapse disorder thing going around, I have to ask: is that a good thing, or bad?
