Wild BEEHIVE Extraction - 5 HOURS in the hot sun extracting a hive from a log
Yep, that was my yesterday. Well... I wasn't so much doing the extraction as I was the video and photo guy. I was there from start to finish to record the process. The team of beekeepers doing the project uses events like this as well as hives placed on public land to help educate the public about bees and their importance in our ecosystem.
In this one image you can see where we are starting to make the first cut into the big hollow log. More video and images coming soon!

Is that honey bees?
Yes this is a hive of wild honey bees.
I love honey and also honeybees too :D
Nice! Is this from your own hive?
Yes. They are mine. ☺
Ha! Not a fan of bees but I enjoyed watching this :D
The queen from this would be a good asset as it has proven to survive without help. Check the brood close for disease.
Nice video.
Hey D Kirb! I made it to steemit after watching you on you tube. Trying to figure this all out!
I'm so glad the bees are being saved!
