4-14-2017. HUGE SWARM at least 6 lbs. In brush to deep to shake out. Had to get Neil Bedwell with his bee vacuum.
Bee Vacuum. Thank you Neil for the help. Could not have got them out without you.
Neil Bedwell. NO SHIRT!!!! 4th generation beekeeper.
It’s not a honeybee. It’s a fly.
It’s a fly that was robbing the bees at the feeder.
Loggers cut into this tree and had to make a run for it.
Another view of the bee tree.
