Buddy mine is cutting some walnuts on a farm. One of the biggest trees had these girls in it. Big tree way over 30?. They still wanted to cut if so I came out to try my first attempt at a cutout. They dropped the tree just as I pulled up. My buddy wanted to make another cut and check on how hollow it was. I told him to put on my suit he said he be fine. Haha. They lit him up. He wanted that jacket then. He made his cut and then I took over. It was a YUGE hive. Ran about 8 ft. I was amazed they hadn?t swarmed yet and no signs of it either. None of it was damaged in the fall. Took my time and found the Queen. Frames up 7 frames. There was a lot more left but lot was cross combed bad. When I left still lot bees out but hopefully they will all work there way in. Supposed to be around 39-40 tonight so they should all go in I hope. If they can all fit. They will definitely need another box tomorrow when I get them home. I really enjoyed that. Going to crush and strain the honey. And give the landowner some.
