Yeah folks, Schawee and I are done with day two and will be back at it again tomorrow on this home in Reserve, Louisiana. This video is of day one. It was very, very warm out but we managed to make some progress and have a good time despite the heat.

Part One: Three Honey Bee Colonies Removed Part One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yNT-C58Rp4#ws)
That's just amazing! 3 hives one house :shock:. I learn a lot everytime I see one of your vids. Can't wait for part 2
Man that look's like allot of work.
A "threefer"...every removers dream! Hope you're playing the lottery too!

OMG, three??!! Have fun, guys! And as always, thanks for the video.
I wonder if they got pissy because they felt they were getting robbed by the end hive?
This one was fun to see. Boy you really get so many bees going into houses out there. I guess that was a very old house???
I guess you could call that a real honey house.
JP have you ever picked up a velvet ant (that was actually a female cow killer, not a velvet ant)? Use a pair of needle nose pliers, it is amazing at how long their stinger is :shock:. They feed on nectar and lay their eggs in bumble bee nest.
Annette, the house is less than forty years old my guess.
Irwin, it was a lot of work but very rewarding seeing we are finally done with this project. The heat was almost unbearable but we made sure we had lots of fluids with us and took small breaks here and there as needed.
For some reason the middle hive didn't like Schawee all that much and targeted him when they had opportunity. Have to say Schawee showed me his true colors on this job. He was dedicated 100% and i really couldn't have done this job without him.
As always, we got some bees, helped someone resolve their bee issue and had fun in the process.
Now I need a hammock to lay up in! ;)
