BEEKEEPING LEARNING CENTER > HONEYBEE REMOVAL
Removing an open-air colony
Flyin Brian:
I did an inspection yesterday. I am happy to report there are eggs in the comb, so there's a laying queen in here somewhere:
The bees have been busy attaching the comb pieces to the frames and starting to chew the rubber bands off
There sure are a lot of bees :)

You are probably goign to want to phase those banded frames out as soon as you can...those look like the beginnings of a huge mess with improper bee space and bridge comb.......ask me how I know ;-)

What you still save the comb from the cut out?

I have 8 of these open air hives 5 minutes from my house.
3 or 4 are 24 to 30" where they are attached to the tree limb, the bad part is, they are all 75 feet up in a Teak tree.
They will just have to stay in their natural habitat for now.
If I was younger and more adventurous, I could shoot an arrow over the limb, with a small string, then tie on a nylon rope and pull up a bait box and tie it off in the cluster of hives.
I can see all the Thai's out there now watching me..........what is that crazy foreigner doing?

A 2016 topic which is very interesting! Good one!! I have not ran across an open air hive but I have heard and read of them here.
