Title: External Colony Rescued
Post by: montauk170 on September 01, 2010, 05:52:46 PM
Rescued an external colony this morning. It was an adventure going up on a boom lift! I'll be hiving them this weekend if weather cools.

Now that is cool.    It was up there for a little while.  Did you have to rent the bucket?

The homeowner "rented" the bucket, well, sorta just paid these tree guys some cash as they were working the area for PGE trimming trees around the block.  :-D
