Title: Latest removal
Post by: sean on December 02, 2008, 11:39:58 PM
Place - two sisters caves in Hellshire. Historical Site two sink holes underground
My mission - (should i accept) removal of five hives. All 20-30 ft on the rock face. I did accept (i have the stings to prove it)

All work has had to be done on a ladder with 2 of us going up one at a time.

Imagine being up there with bees stinging the bejeezus out of you & you cant run, walk or swat them properly

 Very nice! I thought that I had it hard getting them out of  walls and logs. Good pictures!
