"One Tree, Two Holes!"

Hollow tree has bees in the bottom and top!

Hole in the very top of the tree.

Bee Escape Method is utilized.

deWayne makes certain bees can't slip through the bottom of the Bee Escape.

Cleaning up around Bee Escape.

Nuc Box with new Queen is placed in front of the tree in hopes to lure bees from the tree into the box.

deWayne moving up the tree to address the hole at the top.

A bucket of cement seals the deal, and forces the bees down to the Bee Escape at the bottom.

A few strays hanging on are quickly removed with a simple frame that smells like fresh honeycomb!
