Vacuuming 15,000 honey bees from a wall

To remove honey bees alive, you have to cut into the wall where they are nesting and use a special vacuum to remove them

Bees are pretty chilled

[@TheMeanestGuy]

Were the bees relocated?

[@TheBeeMan]

Yep

[@TheBeeMan]

@Brian Liu nope not for honey bees. I'm a beekeeper so I like to relocate those when possible

[@patriciaferry3957]

Looks like a fantastic laying queen to have great brood pattern have you still got her or her genetics

[@TheBeeMan]

I do still have it, though I have enough hives I don't remember which one it's in. We will see how many survive the winter

[@olddave2056]

you're not changing a tire with the hive tool, relax, get a hold on it out on the end

[@TheBeeMan]

This was my assistant's first removal, he's still learning

[@hollywoodundead72]

why would you put all the honey in a dirty ass box, thats good tasty stuff you can actually use

[@TheBeeMan]

You're not supposed to eat honey you pull out of a wall. You don't know if there are pesticides from someone spraying them or insulation or any number of things. I put it in a bin because I just feed it back to my bees

@@TheBeeMan was that not all brood?

[@TheBeeMan]

@@patriciaferry3957 the thumb nail was all brood. The queen was definitely a good layer. There was lots of honey on the outer layers too
