Forest, VA Honey Bee Colony Removal

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.
