Title: We have hive
Post by: Kat Kanning on September 03, 2011, 08:53 AM NHFT
We helped capture a wild bee hive.  The guy let us keep them, so now we have bees :)  The wild hive was building comb right outside on the eaves of a house.  The homeowner didn't like it and called our friend to remove them.  The bees didn't seem to appreciate it.  But with 3 days of trying to manipulate them, none of us got stung.  It's harder to work with a hive like that than a swarm.

some of those shows are crazy. I saw that exterminator guy on tv while I was in jail.
Our bees are pretty tame. :)
