A swarm of honeybees decided to make an old, hollow tree their new home. The only problem is it was right next to a playground area.
Talk about some noisy neighbors. The swarm of honeybees only moved in a few days ago. Their scouts had found what looked like the perfect tree for their new queen, complete with a waterfront view. Unfortunately for them, it was literally only a few feet from a children’s playground area.
Hargraves’ experience paid off as he was able to find the queen using an endoscope and relocate her to his new hive. Through a combination of smoke and pepper spray, the bees were encouraged to move out. Then, it was a waiting game. After only a few hours, most of the hive moved out of the holes Hargraves drilled in the tree and found their queen in the new box.
The hive will now head to its new home with B’s Bees where it will be closely watched over the next few months.
