Well, this guy calls me and asks me how to get the bees out of his water heater. I offer a couple of trap-out ideas.
He has no clue of what I'm talking about. I ask some more questions and he says the bees have been living in this water heater for 4 years. He set out plywood boxes to try and "lure" them out of the water heater.
No luck.
So after several more ideas (and I still don't know what he really means) he says, "Why don't you just come and get them?"
He had an old water heater, leaning up against a tree. I smoked them at dusk and lifted the water heater onto my pick-up. After coming home, I set it up just like it was at his place.
So what are my options? At the present time I plan to leave the bees to fend for themselves as best they can and allow them to continue to live in this old water heater.
