How we saved 20,000+ honeybees in a

Описание: Not your typical #honeybee #swarm call, when someone says “we were cutting a tree down and cut right into a colony of #bees… now they are everywhere...can you come get them.."

We love a challenge and love when we can attempt to add local feral colony genetics in our apiary.

Since we didn't have the right tools on the job site to do a formal cut-out we opted to transport the tree hive back to our apiary and manage it in a unique way until we were ready to dissect it properly. These ladies had already been through a lot and needed to settle in their new location before we disrupt them again to get them out of the tree cavity.

NOTE: We understand the our local state requires removable frames and these bees cannot reside permanently in this tree cavity, but this is only a temporary home until we can do a proper extractions
