Wow! This weekend went fast. I have some more photos that are pretty interesting. Back in August a beekeeper friend of my husbands called him and asked him to help remove a hive of bees from an older house a gentleman was restoring. When my husband told me about it I thought it was interesting and wanted to take some pictures. When we got there was when I found out that the hive of bees was inside a window. The window had been boarded up on the outside. There was enough of a crack in the plywood that a hive of bees had moved into the window and set up home. An educated beekeepers guess would say that the bees had been there at least one and maybe two years. They had built a lot of honeycomb and there were a lot of bees. The way my husband’s friend figured was the best way to remove it was to remove the entire window. I have about 50 pictures of the whole process but here are a few. They wound up cutting all around the window and lifting it out of the wall. They then loaded it into the back of a pickup and took it to my husbands friends house. He is using it as an observation hive because it has glass on one side so you can see the bees and their routines. He added a way for the bees to get in and out to gather pollen, nectar and anything else needed by the bees.
