Title: bees in a tree
Post by: cao on June 13, 2019, 01:20:57 am

I just removed some bees from a tree.  Was a first for me.  Just thought I'd post a few pics.

This is the bottom 3 ft. exposed.

This is the comb removed from the tree.

This is inside the log after the 3 ft. has been cut off.

Here's a pic of the log at the beginning.

And the bees finding their new home.

That's only about half the bees on the outside of the box.
