| Vacuuming the field and guard bees first before getting to the nest. The h bees were in the ladder construction of the over hanging rafter. |
 |
| We had to get past a yellow jacket nest at the lower end of the soffit before we could even get near the h bees. |
 |
| Harry is vacuuming bees at the entrance as Jay is removing thin popular weather boarding. |
 |
| Weather boarding has been removed, both 2 x 10 ribbon joist have been cut to expose the nest. |
 |
| Tommy removed the nest comb. |
 |
| A sheet of brood comb held by Tommy. |
 |
| Jay has cut the brood comb to size for the deep frames. Rubber bands are used to hold the comb in place. |
 |
| The frames with comb are placed into the deep box on the ground next to the field table. The bees from the vacuum collection boxes ( in the back ground ) will be joined with the comb once back at the home bee yard. |
