Spring Cut Outs / Removals





March 24, 2011. Old Aspen Community Cannery, colony #1.









Equipment in place, we are ready to cut the sheeting and expose the bees. We both work up on the scaffold.

















The brood sections were cut and put into frames. The vacuum collected the bees. The honey went into containers to be cut for frames back at the bee yard. Bees filled 2 double deep supers.











The removal of the first colony is complete.
