Yeah folks, Schawee and I are done with day two and will be back at it again tomorrow on this home in Reserve, Louisiana. This video is of day one. It was very, very warm out but we managed to make some progress and have a good time despite the heat.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I wonder if they got pissy because they felt they were getting robbed by the end hive?

This one was fun to see. Boy you really get so many bees going into houses out there.  I guess that was a very old house???

I guess you could call that a real honey house.

JP have you ever picked up a velvet ant (that was actually a female cow killer, not a velvet ant)? Use a pair of needle nose pliers, it is amazing at how long their stinger is :shock:. They feed on nectar and lay their eggs in bumble bee nest.

Annette, the house is less than forty years old my guess.

Irwin, it was a lot of work but very rewarding seeing we are finally done with this project. The heat was almost unbearable but we made sure we had lots of fluids with us and took small breaks here and there as needed.

For some reason the middle hive didn't like Schawee all that much and targeted him when they had opportunity. Have to say Schawee showed me his true colors on this job. He was dedicated 100% and i really couldn't have done this job without him.

As always, we got some bees, helped someone resolve their bee issue and had fun in the process.

Now I need a hammock to lay up in!  ;)
