Hey there Kirk!

I enjoy your blog and Twitter stream, thanks for your beekeeping evangelism :)

Today I captured my first ever "wild" hive and thought I'd share some pics with you all:

Take care,

Want to know more? Here's a post about bee vacuuming from last year.

Bees in the trees

Backwards Beekeepers Dennis and Steven did a tree hive removal recently, and Dennis has the whole story on his blog:

Steve did most of the bee collecting. The new beekeeper Ed G. was filming the event for posterity and jumping in to help when he could. The neighbors came over for a glance from time to time but most kept a good distance.

Vacuumed bees are clean bees

Don't miss Dennis' post on his blog about doing a cutout with fellow Backwards Beekeepers Steve and Carlo. They bust out the bee vacuum, and it's quite impressive.
