This garage wall was a fairly easy job, they usaully run between 150- 200 dollars depending on how long they take. I saw their queen, solid yellow golden color, big and beautiful. They had brood going and drones also. Also had drones in the colony, a good sign of their health in my opinion. This is right after I removed the siding, I used a little smoke, but after a while did not need it, they were very nice to me, and even let the human residents of the home watch from a safe distance. These folks genuinely loved their bees. I plan to keep them at my Alvin place as they seem to be superior survivor stock.
