Another beekeeper received an EMERGENCY call about honeybees that needed to be removed from a telephone utility box. He was unable to make it – so contacted me to see if I was available. I was able to respond for the company – and take care of the bees.
The box as I approached it:
The insides… Uh – were a mess of wires. This took TIME and precision work to not disrupt anyone’s home telephone service (does anyone actually HAVE a land-line any more?)
My main tools for this removal were the smoker – to run the bees out of the box and collect them – and a LONG carving knife that reached way down to carefully trim out the comb.
Once finished, the wires were tucked back up into the cover, and I was on my way.
