We have been saving bees for years. Bees are a very important part of the environment and are a necessary part of agriculture. The last few years, the bee population has taken a big hit with some years at a 50% reduction!
The Queen Bee and Female Workers
The average beehive contains some 30,000 bees! Most
of the bees are female workers. There is only one queen
per hive. With the high volumenous amount of bees, it
is difficult to find the queen. Many times novice beekeepers
mistake the oversized male drone for the queen. The
queen usually stays near the brood.
Started as a friendly
bee swarm, but later a thriving beehive
with honey.
Bee swarm on a vehicle

Beehive behind brick
wall. We can removal bees and honey
without damaging brick.
Bees after they were transferred from a wall void.
Beehive in a hole in an oak tree. We can transfer them into bee box.
Bees in a subfloor of a house.
I find this type of a hive a few times a year. When bees form a hive outside a wall void or tree, they are called feral hives.
Bees will make their home in some wierd places! This beehive was probably in transition while looking for a permenant place.
