Meet the Bland Family, a father and daughter pair from South Georgia who recently noticed a swarm of bees taking up residence in a tree around their front doorsteps. After speaking with the family, deWayne felt it best to use a method he learned from his mentor, Harold. It's a method that takes alittle longer, but it's been proven to be very successful in saving the colony, keeping the neighborhood safe, as well as our clients happy!
After taking a survey of the hollow area in the tree deWayne and Mike (son) drill a hole into a piece of board in an effort to cover the area. This will prohibit any bees from re-entering the tree, but at the same time will eventually allow those trapped inside to exit through a screen device.
deWayne is seen here assembling and attaching two "cone-like" screen devices to the board known as bee escapes.
A caulking gun is used in an effort to make certain the bees have no entrance way back into the tree. Extra screen is also worked in and around the board and tree.
deWayne brings in a nuc box with a queen and some brood in hopes to lure the colony from the hollow tree into the hive box.
AND THE JOB IS A SUCCESS!
