| deWayne and I put up the scaffolding in an effort to retrieve a colony of bees in this beautiful tree in downtown Savannah, Georgia. |
 |
| deWayne prepares to close off the entrance to the colony, who have made their home in this lovely tree. |
 |
| deWayne smokes the tree in hopes to lure the bees off during the "BEE ESCAPE METHOD". |
 |
| deWayne begins the "Bee Escape Method", a procedure of extracting bees by using a screen cone attached to a board. The cone allows bees to exit, but not re-enter. |
 |
| Mrs. Smith, homeowner, watches as deWayne prepares to lift hivebox on to the scaffolding. |

| deWayne getting ready for a work-out! |
 |
| deWayne slowly lifts the hivebox up to the top of the scaffolding, where it will sit for three weeks. A new queen has been placed inside the hivebox , and will serve as a motive for the bees to make the box their new home! |
