Beehive Part Two

Good news, I found a beekeeper interested in my bees. He came last night from Homestead Florida about 30 miles from my home. Alfredo keeps several beehives in his small farm; he also teaches beginner classes for those interested in having bees.
May be I’ll take the class some day when I retire from my day job.

The process of taking the bees was surprisingly simple, he came around 10pm when the bees were all home and sleep. All it took was a little smoke from the smoker and the job was done. The poor bees woke up this morning in a totally different place; I hope they can find their way around.

I want to thank you for all your suggestions and comments, I am relive that these bees were saved, this time I was determined not to use an exterminator.
