tired of: I sprayed the bees calls
« on: December 27, 2016, 08:44:17 pm »
then they want me to rush over there and rescue the rest of the bees, since they still can't get their chainsaw out.  It's an inground hive, not sure if yellow jacket or honey bee, but nope, I'm not going.  I was off today.  Did she call when her friend was running to the store for more bug spray? no.

I don't blame you one bit.

 ...But they are going to 'give' you those valuable bees.  You should be grateful, and drop what you are doing and rush over there RIGHT NOW!  Not!    ;)

My only removal call last spring was from a sweet old lady over six hours away. She rented her house and after talking to her it became obvious it was a huge cutout. Well, I went nuts trying to find someone nearby willing to do this for no charge and of course no luck. After a couple days she called sweet wife to tell her that the landlord was turning it over to an exterminator. Oh well!

if the bees can wait til February (and I know where there is an attic load) and they were sprayed in November, I will take a chance in February.   The contaminated honey should all have been eaten, if the bees are alive it was safe enough, and I won't spend a fortune trying to nurse them through a winter
