Title: Tree house bees
Post by: hardwood on November 17, 2011, 02:06:00 PM
This one was in Ormond Beach FL...just north of Daytona.

We found the queen clustered on the outer wall.

Another good one
Man 2 ? 3? How many to your eye, I would have been suited after the 2nd on the arm
Scott I wounder if liquid smoke applied to the sting(s) would mask
better than smoker scent.

Thanks

This one was a little painful to watch. :shock: Was wondering when you would put some cover on, hate to see you getting blasted like that. Thing is, you know these will probably be really good bees once they're in their new set up.

Do we get to guess what expletives Peg dished out when that comb section fell?  :-D

Oh, did she earn the right to go back up into the "boy's" tree house?  :-D

I love watching your videos, but I have to agree with JP on this one.  I have learned a great deal from watching you and Peg and I would be foolish to give you advice, but... seems to me, (like all of us) some days they are just grouchy.

Have fun!

That was definitely a "girls" tree house and one I would love to live in. Have always wanted to live in a tree house since I was a little girl.

Thanks Scott and Peggy for this difficult removal. You are both very brave.

Did you ever find the queen??
