Garage Apartment Bees

Several weeks ago, an attentive homeowner watched as a swarm moved into the joist space between floors of a backyard “garage apartment”.   On eviction day – access to the comb was through the flooring above the bees.  A laser thermometer showed that there was a hot-spot in the corner – marking the space where the brood and bees would be.

Once opened, the bees were very docile.  The queen was quickly found in a cluster of bees

She was a runner!
