Hazards of Bee Removal

[KeyLargoBees]

Did a removal at the Local animal shelter...all went well got the bees out of the wall but when I went there yesterday to make sure they were ready to come home after dark I ran into an "open house" event....and came home with a new dog ;-P

Well, as long as you came home with a new hive, well let you slide.

Hope they gave you a adoption discount.

I am a sucker for a stray. That is how I ended up with 3 cats and 2 dogs.

Hope he or she is a beehound. They are rare and special. He or she will be your best companion because you saved he or she.

There are always risks...

Well I guess my Golden Retriever learned early in life not to go snuffling insects when she got popped on the nose by a scorpion because she has ignored the bees in the back yard since i got them....the new guy got his introduction on his second day and got popped on the nose when he was snuffling one of the ladies in the grass in front of the hives ....no reaction except a lof of snuffling and rubbing his face on the grass  and after 10 minutes you would never know he had been stung....he no longer snuffles bees on the ground and ignores the hives completely so I would say he is turning into a good "bee hound"

I am not sure if our work cat has been stung yet but she still tries to jump and catch them when they fly by her.

We had a kitten that liked following me out to the box.  She'd jump on the lid, and I'd put her down away from it.  One day I was looking through the box and she was coming up.  I said "no" loud, and think I moved her back away, but she kept insisting.  She jumped up on the top bars full of bees.  She paused there a few seconds, and I thought she got by without getting stung.  Then she tore out of there and won't come very near any more.  For some reason.

"For some reason."

My sons dog, a Goldy" put her nose up to a hive, with a landing board full of bees, on her first day. I watched but there was no reaction. She has never done it again. I think she got stung but refused to let anyone know it.
