Another block wall removal....we've been getting lots of these lately.

Camera probs again and didn't get any footage of the queen but they're doing fine (I actually have them out for pollination in my brother's little garden :-D )

I can't tell with my crap screen, but ain't there the queen at 11:18?  And "It's getting hot out here, wish I had a parasol", priceless.   Ya'll been getting a lot of that concrete flavored honey lately.   Great video.

Good eye Allen...but no. I see the one you're thinking of and it does kinda stand out like a queen but no black thorax. I found the queen shortly after in the cluster on the upper right...a light Italian looking queen.

Very impressed with these block removals, most all people down here don't want to listen to reason to cut blocks out.

Has to be a red parasol, although I think a yellow one would work.  ;)

Peggy did a good job explaining to the customer what happens if the wall is closed up with the hive still there.
