Yeah, this nice lady hired me to remove a nice little external colony on her tree branch. She had a few different bee removal companies tell her they wanted hundreds of dollars, (one between 3-400.00).
She said money was tight due to an upcoming surgery.
I had passed by earlier to look at the hive while she was at work and told her she could pay me whatever she liked as this lil hive was not much more than a swarm really. We settled on a price but then she called me back and said I was too cheap and that they wanted to give me a hundred bucks.
I mentioned that I had videos up on youtube if she would like to view some of my work.
She and her husband watched some of the videos and became interested and excited about our venture to remove her colony.
She invited some friends over and a few neighbors to watch the show.
It was a lot of fun folks.
