yeah, that's why i quit doing removals.  usually the bees have been sprayed before the beekeeper is called in and you do a lot of work for a colony that will be dead in weeks.  very few of the people will admit to have spraying the bees.  i'll do a removal if the people are willing to wait a few weeks for me to schedule it.

It always makes for great TV to watch people running from the bees! 

Unfortunately it rarely ends well for the bees though. :(

I've never heard of the show.  Will have to see if I can catch a re-run.
