On Sunday, September 10th we attempted our first swarm removal. It was definitely a learning experience! The bees were located in a pine tree on our road in Fields, LA (the REAL Bearhead Creek). The owners of the property, Kristin and Demp Suchanek, gave us permission to remove the bees. The first thing we learned was that it was a little too windy to try to move the bees. We had to wait a while for the wind to die down before we finally got them. The bees also swarmed on us twice. Just when we thought we had them, they would fly out again. We did finally get them and they are home with our other hives. We have so many questions to discuss with our more knowledgeable and experienced beeks. Our Bearhead bees act a little different than our other bees. Hopefully this is not an indication of how Bearhead bees behave. If so, we are going to be in trouble.
