Wow! Thanks so much for this. My husband and I have a major project (fence) to get done and when it’s finished, I’m going to spend some time learning more about bees and getting the hives cleaned up.

Mark and I completed the cutout of the bee hive today, and Mark's wife and my husband went along. We were carrying a manlift on a 30 ft. gooseneck trailer and with Mark still injured, my husband drove and Mark's wife kept him company while Mark and I were up on the lift removing the bees.

We have photos and I'll get them sorted and post a couple of them tomorrow. It was a small hive of probably 40,000 bees and we got almost all of them, including the queen.
