The homeowner has had bees in this house for at LEAST 3 years. While they have not been a problem for the homeowner, they posed a potential problem for roofing crews who were to replace the roof. Hammering and activity on the roof tends to occasionally upset bees that are just below the roofers. 😉 […] At first glance at the articles I have read in the last few days, one would think to themselves: “What does this matter? These bees are isolated and in Hawaii – how should that mean anything to us here in the contiguous 48?”. Easy answer. These bee species *are* in an isolated area, and thus […] 
Another hive – and the bees have been here a *little* longer than the homeowner had noticed. Though much of the comb was pure white – there was also plenty that was tan and brown. I suspect the bees arrived EARLY this spring, then went unnoticed by the homeowners until they returned from a […] 
Though bees were active in this space days prior to the removal – it may have simply been robbing activity. The placement of the hive raised a concern when I evaluated the colony – as it looked like the hive would be exposed to some intense sun exposure – and the week I evaluated – […] 
Hail from storms this spring has prompted many homeowners to need new shingles put onto their roofs. Unfortunately, when bees occupy space in the soffits, the work crews cannot work to hammer the new shingles into place – as the bees become just a bit perturbed at the violation of their vibrational space by hammers.

There were two spots that the bees were entering and exiting the home – so there were two possibilities: Either there was one LARGE hive, with two entrances…. or there were two separate hives – […] 
This porch had a gap between the door, and the outer porch space/roof line. It made for a strange balancing act while performing this removal. Once I figured out my footing – it wasn’t bad at all. The bees were accessed and removed – and the homeowner opted to perform his own repairs afterwards. […] 
High in the air, that is! From the looks of the comb, these bees have been here for about a year – though there was not a LOT of comb, it was a good tan/brown color – indicating it had been here at least through several seasons. The comb and bees were […] 
An out-of-town military serviceman had been stationed on the east coast – and while renovations are being done to his Texas home – it was decided that it was TIME to take out the honeybees, so that other repairs could proceed. He mentioned to me that he knew the bees had been there a while […] 
Another beekeeper received an EMERGENCY call about honeybees that needed to be removed from a telephone utility box. He was unable to make it – so contacted me to see if I was available. I was able to respond for the company – and take care of the bees. The box as I approached it: […] |
