"To Bee Or Not To Bee"




deWayne and I received a call from a property owner in Hinesville, Georgia stating that they had a colony of bees in an apartment complex. deWayne is touching the overhead in an effort to feel the warmth and vibration of the bees location.





As always...bees draw an audience!  deWayne is seen here educating a gentleman about the honeybees.

After sizing up the job, deWayne decides our best bet is to vacumn the exposed honeybees and then focus on the unexposed bees located inside the walls of the apartment.


After removing sections of the building, one can clearly see these bees have invaded the roof and walls of this complex.  Our next step is to remove the honeycomb and retrieve the remaining bees.  As it is in every case, our goal is to perserve the life of the bee!


deWayne is emptying the "bee-vac" into a nuc box.



deWayne reaches into the wall cavity and retrieves the honeycomb, while honey drips down the wall.




And there you have it!  A massive honeycomb!
