    Cut open an old truck door. I am finding it very hard to find the queen in such uncontrolled situations. I think I vacuumed her up but not sure. I collected 90% of the bees. Spent a lot of time after all the comb was harvested smoking the bees out and vacuuming them.

        Extended family was asking for some so I pinched a bit.
        8 of those hives are doubles and six singles with a feeder in each
        So 10 frames out of 188 were pulled.
        It's so hot and dry in going to mix of 50lbs of sugar water and give it to em until the Golden Rod gets here
        I forgot I had about seven gallons of syrup from man lake so I just thinned that out a touch and fed them that

          Definitely hard to find the queen in something like that! You have to get lucky!

            Tiny little ants but a lot of them. Sugar ants? How do I get rid of them?

              I put veg oil around the bottom of the hive, usually helps.

                    Cut out a plastic truck tool box today. This thing was buried in some woods and I drug it out to the clearing. They were mad then calmed down to not so bad.









                    Over 3 gallons of capped honey.

                        Hmmm… I don’t know why the colors vary. Two different hives a few miles apart.

                          What does a removal like this cost?



                          Attic access is very bad.

                            Hard to say without looking at it first hand but probably $500-600. I’d cut from the outside rather than try to work in the attic in this heat.
