Honeybees in a roof area
Roof jobs require removal of the roofing and the plywood. I met the contractor who will be repairing this and explained our bee proofing procedure to him. This is a view of under the plywood. Packed with honeycomb and bees!
Yesterdays Job-2 story roof.
Yesterdays job cost the owner of the home $300.00 because it was a 2 story roof relocation. Bees are fine today in 2 new colonies-lots of bees made enough for 2!
Rodeo bees
In the Agventure area of the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo these bees are in what I call bee prison. They must stay almost three weeks here to help teach the public about honeybees. To help them, I have a feeder with sugar water+ honey b healthy and Nosevit. Also a plate with pollen substitute called Mega Bee. These were provided by Wabash Feed Co.-thanks Betty! I hope they are doing o.k. today. Friday is the first of my 3 days to be at the booth, and I look forward to seeing my bees that day.

Bees to Barry Farm
Geoffrey Smith is shown here last night getting ready to load up his 2 colonies purchased from me. His farm that is in Sugarland produces heritage hogs and free range eggs. These bees will add to what he and his wife and children produce along with their animals. I am proud to support small family farms like this with wild feral bees. He was very pleased with his purchase.
Houston Heights bees
This colony is doing well tonight. They were close to my old home place in the heights. Video on my u tube channel.
Honeybee Relocation-Med Center Area
Big job, cost to the customer-$300.00. This is because of brick entry and large colony size. I had to use my machete and shovel in this job. Worked late to be sure to get the queen, lots of bees ran back but I got her in the bunch you see on the honeycomb in the back. Bees fine now here in Alvin.
Heights Honeybee Project
These bees are now in the Heights and working hard! Delivery was last Friday, you can see the queen bee on this frame.
Todays job- Cable box 2/13/2012
These are easy and the bees are fine now. See the video on my jenniferjoscott2bee channell on u tube.
Bee Relocation in South Houston 2/9/2012
Near Fellows road these bees were quite fiesty! They are very special black bees(german bees) and I was Very careful during this removal, and they are doing well today. The genes carried in my truck yesterday are priceless, and the customer got all the honey she wanted. The bees had made so much though that I will be able to give away 20 lbs. today to folks who NEED it. Honey used to be only given as a gift, back when beekeeping was treated with the respect it deserved.Did you know that SOME folks who do what I do SELL the honey from the removals they do?tShame on them, this is against the LAW, yes the state law forbids this, watch out where you buy your honey!
New Farm Home for the bees 2/7/2012
Here are some colonies I took out to a small farm close by my Alvin home. The owners found me through the internet and now they have bees for the garden. Good for all, and the farmers get 10% of the honey produced here!
