We removed these a couple of days ago....Man were they ever pissy!

Unfortunately, Peggy thought the camera was recording during the whole mid section but wasn't. Missed a lot of footage including finding the queen on the third to last comb. A beautiful large queen with a great pattern but a really poor attitude. She's now taking a nice cool bath in alcohol :)

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

It's cool to see y'all working together like you do.  Great job.  Hope you those bees cooled down some.

nice video of the process. Made me happy that I was merely viewing it, not actually standing there.  :)

Good video, strong hive, mean bees.    That queen bath never hurts.

Didn't know you two even owned bee suits  :lau:

Glad I haven't run into bees like that. Will you let them requeen themselves?

Thanks for the video, good job.

Look on the bright side, chances are good that your next bees will be calmer than those were. I had two jobs like that two years ago, and I'm kind of glad they didn't make the winter.

I ended up taking the bees that we vacuumed (I'd say maybe 10lbs or so??) to a very remote bee yard that we have and shaking them out to boost the population of the hives we have there (they're in citrus and the flow just started). I had just split that yard a few weeks ago and wasn't worried too much about them wanting to swarm so wasn't too worried about introducing the mean drones to the area. My nearest mating yard is about 30 mi away.
