Title: New Colony From Turn of the Century Home
Post by: Scott Derrick on April 22, 2008, 12:58:03 AM
Got a call today from a guy that had a colony living in a half wall on a back porch laundry room. It was an easy one. I even got to sit down while I did it. Wish they were all this easy. Got about 7 pounds of bee out of this one. My swarm box was heavy. I didn't take the photos the owner did. He got a little camera happy. Really nice guy! Enjoy all 60 photos!

Wow, I wish they all were just like that one! That would be a great area to make an observation hive.

Hey, those gloves look mighty familiar. ;)

Glad you're having fun and getting paid for it!

JP gets his at Home Depot, I think, but when I went to home depot out here they did not have this style.

I would love a pair if I can find them. Will have to look around further.
