First cut out of the year.
« on: May 02, 2014, 01:38:03 am »

   Jen;   Scott- I hope you take a camera with you because we want to see you at work with the bees. Good luck with the cut out  :)

  I will be taking the camera, the stand and the wife along to do it.
   I had three cut outs lined up to do, and all three canceled because they said the bees were gone this spring...   I warned them about the honey etc left in the hive but they didnt care so its all good...
   Did a small cut out in a garage wall. No idea how they survived. Didnt have any help, and forgot the camera.. i wont make that mistake Saturday.
  This call is about 30 miles away, and I have no info on it except that the bees survived the winter and are busy working away in a barn wall. The call came from a friend of the people who own the barn, they have no phone..  Naturally the caller has no idea how high it is or what is involved, so I get to load the full kit. He did know there was no power in that barn so the Generator will have to go, scaffolding, etc, etc...  Then I get to drive the 30 miles and see if I can even do it..     
   I would normally turn this down without more details, but bees are hard to come by this spring, so the attempt will be made. If all goes well I may even win the 100 grand from Americas funniest videos!!!
   I will update when the job is done.

I'm going to sit right here at my computer all weekend hitting refresh waiting for your update. Man, I wish! I've had some long days here lately with work. All I've been able to do is look at my hives as I'm backing out in the morning and when my headlights hit them at night. Gonna be this way for a few more days. No telling what I will find when I go back in those babies. Have fun Lazy!

Maybe if I win the $50 million tonight I'll be able to join a bunch of you and help out doing these cut-outs.  ;)
