As you probably know, I'm a teacher with the summer off. Most assume that means 3 months of vacation. Well I'm here to let you know that that is not the case. Lol, this is what I'm currently up to.
Yes, I'm repairing/caulking/painting my 3 story house this summer. I'm not a fan of heights and kinda hate ladders, so I invested in some scaffolding. I also decided to have a pro come out and check out the little honey bee situation I have in the back corner of the third story. He's estimating there to be 60-70 thousand bees in there. I'll try to get some pics of that horror story tomorrow.

That sounds less than enjoyable to be working near.SleevePlz:60-70 thousand bees in there. -
Looks like a nice pad you got yourself there Shafty...any chance you'd be jarring any honey??
-
Nope, can't keep the honey. Smells good, but apparently isn't safe to eat from my walls. Lol.
-
WTF man???? Wall honey is the best.
-
Be careful up there, bro....
60-70 thousand bees!!?????!! WTF.
No thank you.

Nice little smoking courtyard you have there. Big Baller can't be contained in a two story....because the 3rd story is dedicated to Enola Gay HQ and cigar storage.

What if you blew some Curly Head smoke at them?
-
bee-careful there! hehe.. Well I'd rather be working that messing with all that. Then again I hate doing laborish jobs so I'd just hire someone. Good luck though.

A typical hive size is about that...so it isnt really all that big a colony. However, their chosen location is what is unfortunate. Getting them out is a challenge most certainly though. Consider calling a local apiarist to come and have a look. Most will do it for free, so long as they can keep the colony. As per the honey, likely around a 100 lbs in there, more by the end of the summer...so time is certainly not with you. Enjoy the remaining 45 days of your 66 day weekend, give or take! I know i am!

Man I would kill for a 66 day weekend! Working for a bank I only get 3 day weekends unless I use vaca time. Lol
