Did a cutout today on a swivel rocking chair in a junk pile. This is what it looked like when I started.*

This is after I pulled it out of the pile and removed some junk.*

Quite a few nice bees. Found the queen with some bees on the side of a fiberglass dune buggy body!

Also brought home 2 six foot sections of 10 inch corrugated plastic septic tank pipe full of bees and comb with a colony in each one. Just loaded them in the pickup and will figure out how to get them out and hived tomorrow.

Was that mess in someone's yard!

Crazy, who'd thought they,d go there

Our hives are 5 star hotels compared to the "chair hive". lol
Just goes to show that bees don't need much to survive AND thrive.

It was in a junk pile in the country behind a house. The owner was going to burn the pile but thankfully gave me the chance to get the bees first.

Thank God for bee vacs. I vacuumed a ton of bees before i started cutting, which kept most bees from becoming soggy honey messes.
