Title: Bees Removed from flooring
Post by: montauk170 on June 12, 2011, 02:22:12 AM
Removed some bees on Friday from the sub-flooring between the first and second story.
This colony was the one that were sprayed by lemongrass oil before the homeowner called me.
Moved in about 2 wks and had fresh comb. Easy removal. Did use the Fluke Thermal Imager to locate.

But the question is, did the lemongrass oil do any good?   :-D  Great cut out.

Good removal Jack.

Great pictures, kinda like cheating though knowing exactly where they are.  :evil:

My senses aren't trained yet to easily locate the bees so cheating for now.  ;)
It's a great tool and fun too!
