The homeowner has had bees in this house for at LEAST 3 years. While they have not been a problem for the homeowner, they posed a potential problem for roofing crews who were to replace the roof. Hammering and activity on the roof tends to occasionally upset bees that are just below the roofers. 😉 […] 
A short film of the bees yard activity when open feeding honeybees. Honey from structural removals is fed back to the honeybees. This helps ensure that each hive in the apiary has enough food stores to make it through the winter. When there is no natural nectar flow, open feeding can be used to make […] 
This North Texas Municipal Water District wastewater treatment plant has had bees in the past. This year – they have them again. From the look of the comb, these bees have occupied this space right at a month to 6 weeks. The queen was a bright orange color, and easy to spot.

A short snippet of film… These bees swarmed from a Langstroth hive, and were found about 15 feet from the hive location – and about 10′ up the tree. I scooped them onto a small lid, and poured the first cluster into the hive body – which has a queen excluder underneath it to keep […] 
To the untrained eye – this may simply look like an innocent portable outdoor solar-powered skylight. However, to the trained and experienced eye – a solar wax melter is seen. Take off the lid, and you may see the remnants of honeycomb that has been cleaned of it’s honey by honeybees – and then placed […] |
