Performed a soffit removal from Dillon SC today. It was a long one due to the amount of bees in the soffit. When I pulled off the bottom cover of the soffit I lost about 4 layers of honey right off the bat! It was heart breaking to see it hit the ground. It was hot and sticky the when the bottom support left it it fell. These bees were quite nice. There was about 6 to 8 pounds of bees in the hive a plenty of brood and eggs to put into frames. These are also the newest photos with my new camera.
The photos seem to be much better. I still need to upload about 3 more removals from the old camera.
Cheers!
