My normal swarm removal attire. All my removal pics are too large to post, but the attire starts with a short sleeve shirt and most tines it comes off if the bees start to get under it.
Thanks iddee. Thumbs up.
My first removal, I like to have burnt up lol
even though it was a pleasant Spring Day it seemed summer was here once in action! lol . Second one, after the bees quit bumping the veil and black 9mm gloves, I chunked the jacket and veil to the side!
I found out that once I
(broke the ice), the bees were confused and stinging no longer seemed to be their main goal (any longer). Sure I took a few stings, mostly from accidentally mashing them doing the removal.
As I mentioned before, Tim Durham works his bees in a pair of short pants and a rag tied around his head in the sultry Mississippi Delta. Tim is not trying to pull any stunts or impress anyone, and tries to teach what he has learned from a lifetime of experience. He also likes to be comfortable at the same time. Yes he takes a sting now and then as well. and will quickly say (ouch she got me). But he keeps on keeping on with whatever it is he is doing or teaching.
I feel I must also add; After TheHoneyPump told us about taking the sting (in the eyeball itself) from then on, it's almost always at least a veil for me. 😁 I don't want to take a sting in the eyeball! lol
