My friend Rich and I did an easy removal last Friday. This was Rich's first day ever to don veil and work a hive, and he did great. The bees were under the floor board of a shed. There wasn't a lot of clearance under the floor board so the comb wasn't very deep. We were able to lift the plywood floor up and turn it over onto a couple of saw horses. Rich worked the bee vac while I strapped comb into medium frames. We go 10 full frames of brood comb and lots of uncapped honey/nectar. Rich even spotted the queen which I have not been ablt to do on my previous removals. I am hoping the pics show up... I have been having difficulty getting the pics to load.
Cheers!
