bee removal from an attic space

this job was done last week, out south of town near me-thanks to these customers who want to save bees, not kill bees. A hole was cut into the ceiling of this two story house. This colony probably swarmed out of the wall colony in the next entry. When there are two colonies in your house you will get a multi- colony discount. I am already there and its usually possible to remove two colonies in one day Although this honeycomb looks empty, it extended beyond the next rafter and had a good 4-5 lbs of bees and two frames of brood with honey and pollen also.You can see queen cells on the closest piece of honeycomb.
