    For this removal I was assisting my friend Bernard Ory with a bee hive removal at an apartment complex in south east Louisiana. The bees were very calm and very healthy. They had built a small but impressive looking hive in the shape of the Flux Capacitor from the movie Back To The Future. We were able to locate the queen bee and Bernard caught and caged her for the ride home. The queen was reintroduced to her colony when we dumped the bees out of Bernard's home made bee vac into the hive body where we had the brood framed up and waiting. We hung the queen clip with the queen in it between some framed combs. There was plenty of brood and honey comb so that they weren't having to start from scratch. They were going to have some cleanup work to do though.
    The tenant in the unit we were working on came out a couple of times to try and get some pictures and video. She was too scared to get close enough to get anything good but we did bless her with some honey which she absolutely loved. She freaked out one time but unfortunately I wasn't recording.
    I didn't record when we emptied the bee vac into the hive at Bernard's house but I had some otherwise useless video from a swarm catch last year that would simulate a similar introduction to what we did here so that is what I used at the end where the bees are walking out of that bucket. That was a swarm catch that I did not record other than photos for instagram and the emptying of the bucket I caught them in.

    After seeing how you spotted the queen on this one standing 6 feet away and how you spotted the queen on the removal with JP and Schawee from 6 feet away, I'm thinking that's your nitch. Who needs to find the queen when she's on a piece of comb in your hand if you can spot her 6 feet away. I've almost forgotten what a cut out is it's been so long since I've done one, great to see you'r still wrangling. God's peace brother.

    Hey Rooster, great video! Loved that while you were teaching, the rest of us got some tips that are so natural to you - you would never think to mention them. You just do it. Like how to get your fingers in far enough to grab comb and get it out, without overly upsetting bees, or getting stung. Usually, at least! This video was just a great how to - with an example of someone's attempt before that totally failed. Stay safe!
    PS
    Loved your music choice and when you used it - you'd make a great DJ!

    Lol, I thought we just tear it up and leave. Flux capacitor, hee hee! MacFry! You are terminated! I honestly wouldn't have seen the dark queen. Flood line, so true.

    Glad to see you're doing well! I'm curious about that one hive up on what look like railroad ties. Usually those ties are treated with creosote, which is also an insecticide. Reading up, there's a lively debate as to whether it's healthy for the bees to have their hive right on top of them... could that be having a negative effect on that hive?

    Only a true geek at heart would recognise the Flux Capacitor pattern. lol And yes, that was meant as a compliment.
