Not AHB, but impressive in size.
Sadly, the owners called a pest control company
rather than a beekeeper, so the colony was
not saved, nor was the estimated 450 lbs of honey
salvaged. A complete waste.
They also charged they homeowners $2000.00,
not including the cost of repairing the wall
sections removed when removing the colony.
