Me and Bizzybee did a cut out at the Manhattan Apartments today. This was my second project out there. Took about 3 1/2 hours in and out. Had to set up a couple of sections of scaffolding to reach them. Got to work quick when a dearth is on, the robbers start coming and an things get a little hectic. These gals did not have much honey stores and were starting to bring nectar in, since the rain has started again things are blooming just a little. More than likely I will be back, there are just too many openings where old a/c units were removed and not sealed up good.

That's some big chunks of comb. :goodjob:
I usually see smaller comb and lots of it. Yup, if they all look like that you will definitely be back. You think they would run around and caulk a bunch of that up.

Nice looking colony. Did you get the queen?
-
Never did see the queen but think I got her in the vac. Their behavior changed when I got her. I will give them a couple of days and see for sure.
Perry don't tell them about the caulk, it keeps the bills paid around here :laugh: :laugh:

Hey George, I gotta ask. Did you suit up at all for that or did you go "Iddee"? ;D
-
no suit but I did not go "Iddee" I kept my shirt on.........it was hot enough that I did take my hat off.
took a sting in the nose right off the bat before I even got the plywood off of the hole, and another in the neck. Not bad for tearing up somebodies house.
