While I was away on vacation in Colorado I got a call from a guy who had bees he wanted removed. He agreed to wait for me to remove them before he hauled the trailer to the dump. He also mentioned that his workers took a couple of stings when they knocked out the block foundation. The pictures show they hit part of the comb which obviously made the bees mad. There is actually at least two hives in this trailer. I did one today and will do the other tommorow. It was a very nerve racking experience laying on my back under a 60 year old trailer with 60,000 irritated bee's above me (1 foot from my face). Surprisingly I didn't get stung and none tried to crawl up my pant leg. Hopefully tommorow will turn out the same way. Madison...

I don't know if it is or not, but the queen looks like the NWC queens I ordered a few years ago.
