Post by: beecowboy on August 17, 2005, 11:52:45 AM

Hello again This sit is great I like all the help and Info. you can get here,I have my SHB's under control. Now I have a new question A Fellow I work with told me about a steel Drum In his Front yard that had bees in it so I went and got it. When I got it home and took the top off it is full of trash (house hold garbage) What i want to know just leave them in it or try to move them the comb is just all over the place inside beer carton Ect. I can not tell how many there are but it looks like a bunch. Thanks in advance for any advice. :shock:

Sounds like a standard cut out. Cut the comb out and tie or rubber band into frames.
