Good job Schawee! From the looks of how strong that colony was you should be getting that swarm any day now! I hope yours is much BIGGER than Jp's just like mine was! :lau:

Good job schawee, very healthy looking colony, nice when you don't have roof nail penitrations sticking down everywhere.
Thanks for the video, you don't look like you gained a pound over winter, must be that not hanging out with JP. :-D

Text book removal Schawee. Great job!
Savor this one for all its worth cause when they start packing in the honey, those overhead removals are gonna be nightmares to deal with!
Boy, you sure are enjoying yourself aren't you hardwood! :-D

Yep! ;) We looked at one today that we'll be removing tomorrow...you don't wanna miss this one, hottest bees I've seen in a while. I took over twenty stings just looking at them. AHB?? I don't know but I'm surely wearing a veil to start with!

schawee, you the man! Loved this video. I hoping I can get a few swarms this year, and maybe another trapout or two.

Great job Schawee.
I talked to a guy yesterday about a open air hive 40 ft up and 10 ft out in an old oak tree. Short of having a monkey climb out on a 3" limb, cutting it and lowering it, I don't think I will be getting that one. It is in his neighbors tree, hanging over his yard and he doesn't want to pay for removal.
She must be a really good queen to survive all winter.

Did a cut out yesterday (I'll post video of it soon) and caught a swarm. Missed a swarm in the Titusville Walmart today...by the time the folks found me they were gone :'(
