Are the bees in the soffit?
I don't trim. Queen always seems to find the way out.
I believe that some packaging of sevin is labelled for killing "bees". It's rare to find an exterminator who will kill bees, but when you do, this is what they use. I've cut out hives that have...
There may be less public resistance to the concept than you might suspect. Every other livestock is now on a feedlot. Many folks probably expect that bees are also.
I hate when that happens...

Check with the Health Department for their rules/requirements/guidelines.
This may explain it. 12 year old info, wonder how the concept worked out?

Might try going at it from below, through the drywall: Easier to cut drywall; easier to fix drywall; after the cut you will find the combs hanging from the subfloor. If you cut up the subfloor,...
Fill the void. If the space may be insulated, use that. Otherwise, if the space needs to be open for ventilation, you can crumple up some fiberglass screen material and put it in there.

55 gal drum, sump pump tied to a stick upside down so that the outflow is a couple of inches above the bottom of the drum. Put in the water, turn on the pump and add the sugar over time. This mixes...
Yah, now I see you put in 10 frames of these. So if they are built out evenly, there should be no problem.
Since the bees build the comb out past the wood section, the fragile come could get banged up by the box. Has this been a problem? Would it survive on a market shelf? The baswood section protects...
Brand Name: You're in for a treat!
How do you attach a camera to the microscope. I have an old Nikon Alphaphot binocular scope with 4, 10, 40, and 100 objectives and 10x eyepieces.
Takes longer to heat the iron with movable type. There is a thermal disconnect because it is not all one piece of metal. Once you start using it to brand boxes the difference diminishes because you...

Every beekeeper needs to contact their state agriculture office and make them aware that this stuff is going on. Demand that action be taken. And if...
Interesting story on urban beekeeping. John Hansen is really an inspirational person. Hope it works out for them.

Thanks Sherri, some great info there!
How did you process the orange peel and prepare the concoction?
