Bee Hive Removal Santa Barbara
This happened to be one of our easier removals of the season, even though this hive had been in this two-sided gate for several years. As we moved through the comb, it was evident that the hive had recently swarmed and not yet come back to full strength. There was some new brood present, just not in large numbers for a typical hive this size. Most of the empty cells were being filled with honey. We cut the comb and hung it on 8 frames and placed it all in the box. A day after the heavy rains, the bees were very active acclimating to their new surroundings.
