Woo-hoo! I'm going to do my first beehive removal this weekend! There's a 3-year-old hive in an exterior wall of a rent house and the landlord asked me to take care of it. It's a single-story structure so I won't have to go higher than a few steps on the ladder, if it goes to the top of the wall, so I think it's a good first-time project.
So all those hours watching JP and Hardwood remove bees on YouTube will finally pay off! I hope! :)
What I'm hoping someone out there can help me with is a checklist of the things I need before I take off on my first removal. I'm looking to borrow a bee vac and know there will be some tools and other equipment I need (storage tubs, trash bags, a chair, water, etc.). Has anyone out there ever actually put together a checklist for a hive removal? If so, and they're willing to share it, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks,
Eric
Water to wash the sticky off of things - like your fingers and tools.
Look under remova!L's. There is a sticky with a list.
