Got a call yesterday about bees in an attic. I asked the homeowner if the bees could stay until spring to increase their chance of survival and he told me the bees must go now. Either I come and get them or he's spraying as his wife is getting repeated stung in the house. I figure that with me at least they have a chance. I'm already nursing two hives through the winter, so what's one more, right? :-D The girls just moved in this year, so I'm hoping it's not going to be too bad of a job. At least I won't be hanging from a ladder 30' in the air this time, I hope! :shock: I hope the girls like moving to their new home. I guess we'll find out this weekend..... I'll keep ya'll posted, and try to remember to take my camera.
Good Luck to you!!
I hope you have enough baby bottles to nurse all these bees all winter. :-D
And we are waiting for the pics of the cut out.
attics suck if they are not tall enough to stand in. if you have to do one in a tight space, take duct tape and tape up your pants, sleeves, etc. wear HEAVY clothes. take a red light. i make the mistake of taking a shop light and it was not at all helpful to have all the bees globbed on the light.
Kathy, So instead of a vac, take a shop light?
oh no. take both. that way you can vacuum the bees off the shop light!
Good luck with it....bring us back pics!

Good luck - and at this time of year - hope they don't turn out to be yellowjackets!
