Propolised Packrat Shed Floor Bee Removal

1/1/2023

0 Comments

 
A feral bee removal that Ashley and I did on February 7th, 2022. The location was under a shed floor of a house that was for sale right next to Reid Park Zoo. The comb was very dark and we figured it had been there awhile. There was a live packrat running around causing us to gasp and screech every now and then but the dead propolised one really had us making weird and unusual noises. lol. Actually, I wish I would have saved it! I did not and when I see another I will save it to put under a glass display for educational purposes. Don't gross out! it is an oddity! People love seeing oddities! The bees were their normal grouchy selves for Africanized Hybrid girls, Ashley got stung a few times. She was a great sport though and stuck it out till the very end. Note that on February 7th these girls had capped drone brood. 

The house was lovely, the grounds were well kept and beautiful. A guy that had inherited it and put it on the market after his mom's passing, noted that she loved all living things and she coexisted with the bees, literally never using the shed nor that side of the house! There are better ways. Save the bees, call a beekeeper!
