Will these bees be more likely to build in a shrub again?

Another nice video JP.
I did 2 open air hive removals this year. Those sticks  and Spanish moss  in the middle of the comb can bee a real pain.

Nicely done JP!

I did an open air removal a few weeks ago that was very similar in the amount of twigs and such going through the comb. The addional wood work did make for an interesting removal for sure, not to mention taking a good deal more time to trim around everything.

The one I did was a bit higher off the ground though and a good deal smaller.
Fun stuff . . . thanks for share'n!

I have an open air hive that an exterminating company is requesting that I remove so that they do not to destroy it. I am waiting on a return email to find out its location. He says it is 18 feet in the air. Looks rather large.
