My friend in Santa Monica decided that he wanted to take advantage of the legalization of bees and add a hive to his yard. He bought all of the hive gear and then I got a call from him that he found some bees he wanted to rescue.

The bees were in the roof eaves of a 2-story apartment building. With permission from the landlord, we cut the fascia board off to get a look at the hive. We removed the bees and took them to their new home in Santa Monica.
