It's getting hot in Arizona



I just had a swarm call in Cave Creek. It was very straightforward. The bees were swarmed underneath an old birds nest in a carob tree.  I cut the limb off and lowered them into a box for transport. They all settled in for the night, and have been successfully relocated! They are enjoing their new top bar hive far away from GMO, pesticides, herbicides and other poisons. By the way my son got in on the action, he was walking around like an old pro in his bee suit.  I got a good chuckle out of the homeowner when it came time to pay (he offered to pay more for the service because of him), I let him know my son was Union!
