Honey Bees in my front yard
We notices these bees flying in the yard about a week ago. apparently they had been there quite some time. The had been building their hive in some contracption the water company has in my front yard. We called the wated company, they call a "bee man" to come remove them. He took his vaccum and sucked them up then proceeded to remove the hive. He had a trash can to put the comb in and you can see that it is over flowing in the photos. I got him to give me some of the honey comb and will get the honey out when the bees leave the area or die off. The "bee man" said they only lived about three weeks anyway.

I wish that was our problem. We have yellow jackets in the wall behind an outlet on our deck. I had the pump to our fountain plugged into to it and they actually pushed it out of the wall onto the deck. So far only one sting....to me.

I hope the "beeman" just relocated the bees to another hive. Bees that are producing honey are also pollinating your garden and your flowers...Most people who are called to get a hive relocate them so they can continue their work. I used to keep bees in my backyard. That's when I learned that whatever you have to pay for a pound of honey is worth every penny! froggyintexas
