Ross’s Bees

Bees were entering the balcony wall of this condo – and needed to be removed.  The walls are appx. 1″ thick cement/stucco – so I had to use a special blade to open the wall to access the comb.

Once their void-space was opened – these bees were VERY docile.

After the removal was complete, I filled the void with insulation, and the stucco was put back in place – and the homeowner can have it cosmetically repaired at his leisure, now that the bees have been re-homed.

During the removal – I saw the queen – however lost sight of her when I removed the piece of comb she was on.

I was collecting the last of the bees after the removal was complete – and FOUND HER – up on top of the wall.  With a small entourage keeping her company.
