Good job Schawee! From the looks of how strong that colony was you should be getting that swarm any day now! I hope yours is much BIGGER than Jp's just like mine was! :lau:

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."

Yep! ;) We looked at one today that we'll be removing tomorrow...you don't wanna miss this one, hottest bees I've seen in a while. I took over twenty stings just looking at them. AHB?? I don't know but I'm surely wearing a veil to start with!

schawee, you the man! Loved this video. I hoping I can get a few swarms this year, and maybe another trapout or two.

Great job Schawee.
I talked to a guy yesterday about a open air hive 40 ft up and 10 ft out in an old oak tree. Short of having a monkey climb out on a 3" limb, cutting it and lowering it, I don't think I will be getting that one. It is in his neighbors tree, hanging over his yard and he doesn't want to pay for removal.

Did a cut out yesterday (I'll post video of it soon) and caught a swarm. Missed a swarm in the Titusville Walmart today...by the time the folks found me they were gone :'(

He likely forgot his eagle eye glasses. We all know how squinty he gets without those & he can see *%$# without them either!  :-D
