Record Size Bee Rescue

This bee extraction involved clearing out three sections of wall which had a volume of around 60 cubic feet. A truly massive hive and a record for this area for as long as many beekeepers can recall. A perfect storm of a great location and a building not used in the summer created a situation where the bees could keep developing the area without being noticed for years.

Were you able to re-home the bees?

We were. I don't know the numbers but many hives were either given extra bees, splits were made, and much of the honey was used to help bees survive over the following winter. It was a big boost for those who ended up donating much of their time(including myself) To make it all happen. Great question! Thanks for asking!!
