I removed two (2) hives from one wall at a communications company cell site.
The colonies were gentle considering I ran a skill saw with a carbide blade across the top of there home.
Both colonies were transferred into nuc’s. I was able to locate the queen in this hive (That was a first.)
I inspected the other colony a week later and they have produced seven (7) supercedure cells. I killed all but two of them.
I was surprised by how calm they were considering I’m in the heart of AHB country. - San Fernando, Ca
My tendency is to re-queen these but I wonder if I should.
