I did a first cut out a week ago and I anticipated very hostile bees because I was diamanteling their home, but they turned out to be unbelievably gentle. I was fully suited, but my father in law was not and only got one sting on the hand.

Thank's for all the kind word's. Yes I did ken the pic that showed me holding the honey comb I gave that to him. Were going back Monday early in the am to pick up the hive and I bet he's there. He is a BIG farm boy he is as big as I am at 15 years old you can tell he has tossed a few bail's of hay.
