did you get the queen?

I hope so. The little sods had set up in the hole left from a partially rotted joist.

I couldn't get round it, in it or through it. Time will tell, smoked the hell out of the area and then went down and blocked the entrance up.

interesting dark color, no? usually lighter golden color, right? is it a species genetics or location thing?

If your talking about the brood box, it's an age thing 🤣🤣 it's had so many coats of linseed oil it's took on that colour.

But if your interested here's a pic of one of my marked queen's from a swarm earlier this year. She's funny because she likes to play dead during an inspection 🤣🤷‍♂️

yeah, i meant the bees. lol

Back in the victorian era we imported a lot of Italian queen's which are lighter in colour than our native British bee. So we get a wide variation in coloration.

And temperament 🤣🤣

In Colorado, years ago, a man converted a sewer sucker truck into a Prairie Dog vacuum to relocate Prairie Dog towns. I bet that freaks those little critters out.

That's a cool idea, I'd love to see that one day. Just so i can say I saw it happen 🤣🤣

When they come out of the hose, they are thrown into a foam pad. 🤣

Do they get points for sticking the landing ?? 🤔

hey, it's getting windy in our tunnel...

HEY.... wooooooosh, plop.

They're like, what the hell just happened! 😂

I can imagine the conversation around the gopher hole in the morning..

"Steve, I'm telling you. I was abducted by aliens. There was this rumbling sound and the next thing I knew this wind came from nowhere, picked me up and then I was in this big black void. The next thing I know I'm here.

Go home Carl, your drunk.."

🤣🤣
