And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Carefully and slowly put a bucket under that, then stand back a ways and pump two or three .22 rounds into it.
Had that happen one time in San Antonio in a tree in the backyard when I was a kid. It is amazing how fast they build that hive. Mom called a Beekeeper and he came and put the hive in a box on a ladder in basically the same place, waited till night so all the bees were home, Then took them away and put them to work. I am no bunny hugger but I think bees should be conserved where possible.
....no need for a .22. There's a beekeeper taking the photo,(notice the smoke under the hive). Looks "SEA". Our "Italians" don't like to build a nest out in the open like that. I've got 3 of my hives 20 feet from my door. I can check on them from my bathroom window, or sit on my patio with an adult beverage watch them work and enjoy the day.....
Looks like it better be a BIG bucket!
ReplyDeleteAnd you better stay way back. Honey bees will attack to about 900 ft out, the African variety go to about 1200 feet out
ReplyDeleteUnh-Unh...Um......nooooooo.
ReplyDeleteI like my honey in the little bear on the pantry shelf, thank you.
H... No! Did that when I was 8. 61 and still remember.
ReplyDeleteI was the same age......62 now.......still pull stingers out. My uncle said it was the funniest thing he ever saw.

ReplyDeleteIf they are not africanized i would just grab it and leave. Hope the queen is still in the Q and put them in a box like Mikey's beekeeper.

ReplyDeleteHaha! Nice catch!

ReplyDeleteSorry, I didn't mention...the beekeeper (honey thief) will have the pail and a butcher knife to cut out chunks of honey.
