    I had one of those queens today that I just couldn't find. I needed to find her as she was going into a nuc I have sold and being picked up this week. I finally found her......after I dropped the comb she was on. 20 minutes later I found her climbing up the side of the EZ nuc box. Needless to say, she got marked!

    Soo...
    The 628DirtRooster is inferring that because he's so big, all the beehives look small in comparison?
    Referencing that Mr. Ed comment that he's so small, all his hive removals looks big.
    But I got to say that I could feel both the bees walking on you and that sting, it made my skin crawl!
    Because I was stung when I was young and it sticks to me still.
    From one big guy to another:
    I hope you got to celebrate your 4th of July as best you could.
    Stay safe, take care and have fun!
