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.

Do you keep the bees? That looks like quite an operation.
