Cut Out





































Been meaning to write this for a while, a week ago i got a call to a house that had not only one but two swarms that had set up home in the eves of the house. One of them has been there for a very long time and we have decided to take that out next week. The smaller one we decided to take out. I say smaller but to be honest there seemed to be at least 4-5lbs of bees in this swarm. There where 4 large comb sections that we placed into frames and then vac'd the bee's up into a deep.

In the News

I do allot of work for a magazine and they asked me to put an article together with my sponsor Steve Armstrong. We went out on a number of occasions and took photos and then Steve wrote the the main content. If you would like to read the article follow the link http://www.texomaliving.com/birds-of-prey

D-Day and i some how managed to PASS !

Well Latrell and i decided to make a weekend of it in Oklahoma city. a 4hr drive up and 4hr Drive back down in one day is allot. So we packed the kids up and all headed to the city.

I dropped everyone of before heading off for the department of wildlife and taking my test. I haven't taken an exam for 20 years so to say i was nervous is an underestimate. I have been using the Californian guide and a few other books. I will say this out off the 105 questions oklahoma ask you only about 5 appear in the californian study guide. I just want to say thankyou to all those the encouraged me and heled me in haveing the knowledge to take this test, the result of which was a 94. To say i was elated was also underestimate i was so nervious running up to the exam and had to take some serious dee breaths. I couldnt stop smilling. Now on to get my mews finished and permits endorsed !
