HOLY BEE-JEEPERS!

[N2TORTS]

Ok .. so the last few days I have noticed a few bees that are drinking out of the tortoises' water dish out back in the Cove' ....needless to say last night look what I found out front! ..
A HuMunGo Bee's nest ....only about 6' up in one of the shrub trees.
Anyone a bee keeper or know of anyone in the Orange/Whittier Area who wants this nest? .....it's easy to get to - ...I would hate to kill them ...

Do they normally swarm this time of year in your area?

 

[immayo]

You sending them my way?

They will split off to find a new home if a keeper did not keep them happy. They will move on in a day or two if you let them be . But keep a eye out . If they desire they will build there new home in one of your tort houses or your home . Put out a bee hive and get you some free honey .

Lol if I lived closer I'd help you out!

In new England, if a hive swarms this late, both the remaining hive and the swarm are done for, way too cold!

I was wondering, if they would survive, but then that is CA.

I dunno Mike ..... they have a huge Honey combe already going on , as I was able to sneak up on it today in the daylight and check it out while alot of the bees were out "working" ..

Poke me too .....and honest in all the years of being a nature freak, this by far is the largest free hanging Hive I have seen ....

If I'm not mistaken you can call and pay someone to safely remove the hive and take it to a bee farm. They should pay you, but all would be happy! [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

That looks like a swarm of ~30,000 bees. Some poor beekeeper is missing a big chunk of a hive! But, they should be gone soon. They've got scout bees out looking for a proper home and hopefully you won't have to remove them on your own! That's a tricky looking spot they've found...I don't know if a local beekeeper could safely remove them.

Thats not normal for them to build a hive out in the open but it does happen. Please don't kill them . Call a pest control company they will find someone to remove them . If that does not work try to find a local bee keeper . They are the ones who sells local honey . Most will remove them for free . But like SI Robertson said honey out in the open its a trap .ha ha Beeee careful they could be the Afercanized bees that attack.But like Phil Robertson said bees are like talking to women you got to blow a little smoke .
