| deWayne and I begin to put up the scaffolding for this bee tree at Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Georgia. |
 |
| Thank you, Yates Astro for this referral! |
 |
| Woe, 30 ft. up in the air! I am satisfied playing the role of the "gopher' on this job! |
 |
| View of the inside of the tree, notice how polished the bees have made the bark around the hole. The wood looks like something you would see on a coffee table...pretty. |
 |
| deWayne begins The Bee Escape Method. |
 |
| Up goes the Nuc Box with a new caged queen. This box will sit at the top of the scaffolding, next to the hole, until all the bees have been lured into the box. |
 |
| Bee escape method allows bees to exit tree, but not re-enter. |
 |
| A bottom view of the bee escape method. |
 |
| The removal of the screen, confirms hive beetle larvae resembling maggots. |
 |
| Bees removed, now it's time to seal the main hole of entrance. |
 |
| Spray foam works perfectly for these types of bees jobs, by tightly filling hole and not allowing foragers to return. |
