Honey Bee Removal

Removal was done February 28, 2012

A large old home that is falling down.

The bees are located on the left side.

Someone had tried to get the bees to move in to a hive box.

The inside wall is warm between the window and corner.

A section of the sheet rock is removed from the bottom area of the cavity.

The vacuum process starts as soon as bees are visible.

Comb is removed from the wall, and secured in the frames.

Frames are then placed into a prepared deep super that will become the new brood chamber.

The final section is exposed and vacuumed clean.
