That is a pretty good idea. I'll have to remember that next time I get a call for bees in a tree

Wow, some amazing pics Iddee. I notice no one was near you when you were taking that stump apart. :D
Any chance you found the queen?
Title: Re: Mark's church tree
Post by: iddee on August 19, 2016, 08:06:50 pm
No queen. A few open queen cups with larva. We will see if they continue to develop them.

Nice bee tree for sure!! What a monster.

Iddee did a cold front move in or something, I noticed you had a shirt on  :D
Title: Re: Mark's church tree
Post by: iddee on August 19, 2016, 09:06:17 pm
I don't take my shirt off until they start getting under it and stinging. Then it comes off so I can feel them land on me and I don't mash them. They were docile today, other than the one that got Mark on the eye.  ;D

The girls took to a box very well.  Still no eggs or new larva in the small amount of brood we found.  I had a nuc that had 8 capped queen cells so I moved two over to their box.  Let's see how they do.  They about fill a 10 frame box!
