Title: Honey Bees Removed From Brick Column-April 11, 2011

This is the building next door to where Schawee, Emil and I removed the swarm from a palm tree. I wound up putting them in a deep set up and combined a small queen right colony with them as I never did find a queen albeit the bees showed signs there was one in the set up during the course of the removal.

Another great video.   I loved those long combs.   I would never have thought that those were in there at the start of the cut out.  Thanks.

Do you price out the brick work too or just the removal work?

Yiks is all I can say about this one. They did have their butts up on the landing board at the end of the video fanning like they had a queen.

I gave one price which included George's part of it. Here is what it looked like when repaired.

For some reason I just knew you would say somethin' about those safety glasses Big Daddy!  :-D We can't always find the queen every time like ole Eagle eye, he got that x-ray vision, at least that's what he tells me!  ;)
