Another Swarm Rescue North Greece, NY

by |Published

I captured another swarm of honey bees Saturday. The parent hive is in a large cotton wood tree about 30+ feet off the ground. Home owner wants me to remove the tree with the parent hive in it also. This will be a challenge to salvage the hive out of the tree. If I can cut apart the tree carefully and take the whole chunk with the hive and lower it on to a trailer I will strap it down and drive it home to the bee yard.
