This Beehive Rescue DID NOT Go As Planned...

For Bee Removal Service Call: 626-487-6052
I was out in Fontana, California, dealing with a beehive removal that didn’t go as planned. I thought I had the hive located with an infrared reading on the inside of the house, but when I opened up the drywall... nothing! The sun must have thrown off my reading because the hive was actually hidden much higher up the wall and in the roof.
After climbing 2 storey’s up to get on the roof in the crazy heat, I drilled some holes to verify the bees were actually there and sure enough they were, and talk about lot’s of honey! The hive went down deep into the wall from the roof, which is why I couldn’t reach them from inside the house.
This job was a real challenge, but I got it done like I always do. I ended up with a bag full of honey and a box full of brood. I’ll give the bees 5-10 days to settle into the box and I’ll be back to pick them up and bring them to a beekeeper.

Oh man, I would be taking containers to jobs and keeping the honey to eat haha

[@ElitheBeeGuy]

@@AJGecko18 I actually used to do that, but I would need a lot of containers especially since I remove about 1000 lbs a week haha
