www.studiobeeproductions.com I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive to take this job because of the fact that someone else had started it and quit before finishing the removal completely, but the idea of a colony of bees being left vulnerable and exposed did not sit well with me, so I agreed to remove the bees. This was after the fact the homeowner had agreed to set up scaffolding in order for me to work safely.
Even though the scaffolding was set up which did make the job safer, the removal itself still was a difficult one due to the size of the colony, where they had built all the comb, and that there were a lot of bees. Thankfully, after about 4 hours, all the comb and bees were removed. The only unfortunate fact was I did not find the queen.....that day. Now, I don't want to give away the surprise ending of the video, so you will just have to watch for yourself to see what happens.
I did mention I'd give an update so here it is. The hive really rebounded after the removal, and because the removal was done very early in the spring, I was able to get a split from it and managed to pull 10 frames of honey from the split as well. Man I love wrangling when it pays off like that.
Alright, that's enough talk, it's time to watch and see what happens at the end. God's peace to all.
