BBQ Bees – To Go, Please!

These bees have survived a Texas summer, fall, and now a winter.  The homeowner says that the bees moved in the BBQ pit last spring.  The bees were not bothering anyone – so they let them stay for a while.  Before springtime sets us in with warm weather, though – the bees *really* need to be hived into a proper hive.

Though I took away the bees today (28 degrees, snow, ice, etc) I’ll take them to the bee-yard, and when temperatures are warm enough for a proper removal and transition to a commercial hive, I’ll spend about 2 hours with their move to a regular box.

(If you look closely at the 2nd picture, you might see a few bees poking their heads out to see what I was doing).
