just got an email on a big hive in a carport

[Ben Little]

Hello all, i just received an email from a person about a "bulging" hive in a carport : ) i am excited and it's my first removale !! Anyone have tips on what to take?

i have some tools around so i hope it's enough .

here's what she sent.

Hello Ben,
I wasn't sure if it would be alright to call on a Sunday so am e-mailing instead.
I have a bee hive growing in the carport of my house. It is starting to bulge out the structure. Removing the wood around the hive shouldn't be a huge issue.
I live in Halifax so am hoping you travel around the province.
If you are interested in helping with this situation please either reply to this message and I'll call you at the listed number
Thank you,
Mary


i have watched a lot of removales , but never did one, so i know it will be different in real life, so i need all the help i can get !!

Thanks

Ben

Suggest a sheet to put under your work area.
