This bee rescue was done on April 10th 2019 in Perkinston Mississippi. I'm glad I recorded where I put these bees because I couldn't remember where I got the bees that I put in the Ceracell equipment until I started editing this video. They have been a beekeeper's dream. They are very productive and seem to have no attitude unless I slide the hive across the stand. At that point they act like a spoiled two year old and start throwing things. I slid them over to make room one day when I was dropping off another group of bees. I didn't have any protection on and they tagged me in the head a few times.
This job is one that I expected to show up at and have to reschedule to come back with breaking tools. I was very happy to find this colony just hanging from the chimney cap. It was a fairly easy hive removal and I think I was only at the location for about three hours. That did include some visitation time.
This was a second colony to occupy this chimney. What I didn't show in video was that there had previously bee comb built on the bottom of the chimney cap but it had fallen down the chimney. You may be able to see it in the video when I show down the chimney. This chimney goes to a fire place that is blocked off and no longer used so they could have built a big hive in there, then if anyone ever lit a fire in there again it could have been a bad scene.
These bees built out really well on the Ceracell frames. If you are interested in Ceracell equipment, which is very high quality, check out their site through this link www.ceracell.c... or find some of their products on Amazon through this link amzn.to/2JW2jlS . They are gradually making their equipment available in the US.
The Everything Bee Vac can be found through this link www.allmybees.... . Be sure and tell them where you heard about it and we'll receive a small commission.
Thank you all for watching. Go live your dream!
