You can have that ladder work. I'll stick to scaffold or inside jobs.

BTW, who's the helper? Don't he get no credit?  :?

I've learned that lots of beekeeps won't do ladder work so I'm glad to take the opportunity.

Later today I'm headed up a near 3 story ladder to try and finish a removal myself ^^

Really nice pics there... queen looks great!

Heights never did bother me so long as I felt like what ever was holding me up was safe. You have to trust your equipment.

I still work in some high places doing construction work. I have always liked being up high and getting the good view. the 80' bee tree was a blast, just did not last long enough, would have been better at 280'.
