Queen Bee- Feral Bees are healthy bees!
A photo of one of the queens we saw that day. Sometimes the students teach me too! I always am ready to learn new things, and enjoy sharing what I know about bees. The video of this is on my u-tube channel.
Beekeeping class in Houston
Heres a photo of the class I teach for Round Rock Honey Co. on Saturdays. My Houston apiary is a good place to learn about bees, everyone had a good time and we saw 3 different queens yesterday.
Yellowjacket wasp removal
Thats right..now I will RELOCATE wasps. All of these queens and workers were safely moved to my place in Alvin. I did put several videos of this on my u tube channel-jenniferjoscott2bee- lots to see there. This is the lower nest-beautiful in my eyes.
Honeybee removal from West University
Under the floor of a garage apartment these bees were very warm, and now are in Alvin in a nice beehive. See my u-tube channel for video of the queen and of the job. jenniferjoscott2bee is the channel.
Bee Wrangler is on You Tube now
This is a photo of my job yesterday in Manvel. It shows the cut out floor of a mobile home, honeycomb is by the wall. Had to use my little generator for power...this home will be torn down soon.

Honeybees and chickens
The flock of free range chickens patrol the area around the hives for any hive beetle larvae that happen to be in the soil around the hives. I do not have problems in my hives from this pest, or the other ones either. Wild bees are healthy bees, same as chickens, these chickens are a mix of jungle fowl, rhode island red, and french cochin.

Honeybee removal work in Houston
Every once in a while I just pick a recent photo to post-here it is, a shot of a recent fire out in my firepit. I always have plenty of old brood honeycomb to burn to start a fire. The nice clean wax is recycled and used as started comb in new frames.
Commercial Beekeepers
I just recieved a very angry call from a man who did not like my views. Perhaps I should clear up a few things here and now. I believe there are MANY commercial beekeepers who care about the future of the bees and do the right things. I also believe that many more are simply driven by the $ as most business people are, and only base policy on this. I follow the priciples and beekeeping methods of Ross Conrad as outlined in his book Natural Beekeeping. I also believe that the writings of Rudolph Steiner explain many reasons for "colony collapse" as it is called. I also ALWAYS give the customer the honey, when the guy got so mad and really did not believe this I just laughed, know where his heart lies, and its not with the bees its with the $. Those with a world view of people as the pinnacle of a pyramid with a dominion over all creation use this as a reason to do many things. I do not believe this way, we are part of a circle of life,all beings exist in a community of life in which everything supports everything else.-from this perspective every thing in nature has a right to the pursuit of life liberty and happiness. We all are entitled to our own opinions. But I believe that what you do...it does make a difference. Heres a photo of the bucket of beautiful honeycomb taken from the George Wood Prop. job a few entries back, the office staff will gladly tell anyone who calls about the cleanliness and quality of that honey.The net covers the bucket to keep the robber bees out, one big section, and the brood comb, is in the blue tub with the queen in the cage on top, about to go right back into the new hive ready for them. The proof that I do what I say is right here- updated every week or more often than that.--
