GRATE TEAM WORK

Looks like a great group of people!
-
did you get any honey from this extraction?
I love the music!

Now that was one of the funner bee keeping video's I've seen to date.
Just one question, who had to sit on the couch and find out there was a bee hive in there?
Great video.

Update on these bees: Two days ago I watched as they gathered in numbers in front of their hive. They became very excited and many in numbers.
I could tell they were getting ready to swarm. I got another hive box ready and the next day collected the swarm who moved just 6 feet down the hill on my fence. I gathered them up, queen and all, and they are now making themselves busy in their new home.

Just to update on this hive: They now have a super and have filled it up 3/4 of the way. They are growing in numbers, have a strong queen and are very gentle.
I am very proud of them! lol

Nice work on this extraction, how is this hive doing? I assume this couch was outside when the bees colonized?

The couch bees are doing great- I just checked them two days ago. I didn't see any action coming from their hive at night- i even tapped the entrance and nobody came to check. I listened w/ my ears close to the box-nothing. I got concerned so I opened the lid and BUZZZZZZZZZ and many in the colony- so they are doing very well- they were just busy keeping their brood warm I suppose. Good girls!

I just did a thorough check on this hive today (Feb 18 2010) they are doing great.
New brood, lots of comb and honey and just gave them a super. They over wintered very well (well, as much winter as we can have in San Diego anyhow!)and are very nice in temperment.

This couch was stored on somebody's front porch- (I guess they thought a nice plant had been too many times) So the bees thought it looked mighty comfy and made it their home - the couch owner just didn't want to do anything about it until the problem just got too big and the neighbors started to complain- then he couldn't afford the problem- so the San Diego Beekeepers group donated the extraction- aren't we nice!!?? lol our local Channel 8 news covered it, they used this video in their story.
