  • A swarm of bees moved into this set of drawers and I was called to remove them! I always get the most excited for removals where I get to see the bees building in a place I've never seen them build before, so when I got the call that some bees moved into a set of drawers...it felt like Christmas! (Except it was nearly 100 degrees outside and I wasn't quite sure if I would find the queen!) I hope you enjoy this removal as much as I did. Thank you for supporting me and the bees!

      @@ChasRiaStJohn I assure you, when beekeepers do things like that they always check the edge that will make contact with the box to make sure there’s no bees in the way. Yes in beekeeping some do get squished, but beekeepers are very careful not to squish them. After all, it just takes a couple bees getting agitated to stir the whole hive up

That's why the colony accepted her presence and didn't attack despite what she was doing with them. The only time she will move fast is to catch the Queen when she spotted it.
