moving wild bees to a honey bee hive box

Here the beekeeper starts his work, after uncovering the giant hive in our warehouse of plywood flats. Note that he wears no gloves. He was only stung 4 times though, and he spent a couple of hours doing the move. See how happy he is when he cuts off the first honeycomb? It was loaded with honey, even though it was on the very edge of the hive. Goooood honey. Oh, man, it's good. Our lot has lots of fruit trees, and there are at least a few flowers all through the year.
