hi everyone,
i just put an ad in a local newspaper which read:
"bees in your trees?
I'll remove them for free!
beekeeper john swarm removal ###-####"
Phone call number one: "i was just about to buy some ortho chemicals
to kill my three hives. i'm moving this weekend and if you want them,
come get them." result - three hives, 10 supers total, plus bees - free!
phone call number two: "i've got bees in the side of my house for 2 years
now. if you can get them, they're yours." i went over, and after removing
a piece of siding, cutting out the comb and boxing it all up, i now have
a nice strong hive that appears to be somewhat mite tolerant.
so, as they say, advertising pays! and, i've still got a week to go on
the ad, so there may be more swarms to be had.
