What a shame- so ignorant - they could have got someone to reclaim that - Maybe too high off the ground for USA or OZ!!!

 

[Jenxy]

That's awful... What an ignorant fool.

 

[Hombre]

Such a gift of low hanging fruit, totally unappreciated and, a waste.

If its in the USA, they have laws that all feral bee's have to be destroyed,in certain states.

 

[Heather]

The USA will learn - eventually....when they learn to read

 

[Jenxy]

Is that because of the "africanised" bees Hivemaker?

 

[Hivemaker.]

Yes i believe thats the reason, or as they like to call them,killer bee's.
Yet another man made co%k up.

What a shame.

So what would you have done to relocate such a large colony? It would be an interesting challenge.

I'm guessing the idea would be to smoke them etc. then break off each comb and transfer each one to an empty frame, holding them in place with string/elastic -- or maybe 'shook swarm' them into a new box...

What do you think?

Mortein is an Australian brand of household insecticide

I live next door to an Aussie, he's moving soon ...

 

[jimbeekeeper]

, he's moving soon ...

Is that code for " I am going to put him in a tent and open a can of Mortein whilst he is in there"???

 

[grizzly]

LOL
Actually its probably a good thing he is moving, my bees will be arriving soon.

Better the neighbour you know. Of course, if the new neighbours arrive some time after your hives, then the timing would be just perfect.
Bee lucky.
