Why the bees are here! Without these bees the straberries will not grow as big. The bees love certified organic Gundermann farms! Even the weeds in the fields (dandelions etc.) feed the bees! Garret Gundermann has planted peach trees recently also.

New bees, one colony is from a chemical plant in Texas City called ISP. I took them out of a thing called an acid tower, 30 ft up in the air out of a 12" flange. They were the same place I got bees out of a train car this year. They really care about the environment! Thanks to K.P. there who contacted me. The rest are from many different bee removal jobs, all enjoying the pear trees about to bloom above them, and the strawberries and all kinds of new things growing at Elm Grove. This brings the total to 7 at Elm grove and 6 at Glen Flora- GO Gundermann bees! Lets make some honey! Buy it at Ruggles Green on Alabama now! Our newest customer! 

Nectarine trees blooming, peaches are next to open- Joan's house in the background, the bees love this farm.

Brought 5 new colonies from bee removal jobs out to G-mans farm just the other day. A nectarine tree was in bloom and peaches are right behind them! Happy bees and happy farmers all around.

Removal is possible from inside of a house if the exterior is brick. This was from the North side of Houston.This is the begining of the job. I enter the house through the nearest window, use drop cloths to prevent any mess and take great care to retrieve all bees.on.

This is another shot of a wave in Galveston bay that we played on while coming back in, fun even in a little boat if you know how to drive. I can not wait till we can get out there again. Hog Island in the background. 

This colony is over 4 years old and have remained healthy and very productive without any treatments for mites. A fine example of why I preserve this wild stock. They came out of the gas tank of this machine. Gus Allen is pictured in a previous entry of the honey harvest from his dads farm. He was very helpful with the harvest. It is not an easy job, by a  hand crank extractor. We did it in October. 

Heres the honey from the previous entry. I give it away and feed it back to the bees. Gave lots of this away to  this customer & friends.  The only honey I sell at the markets (White Oak & Highland village farmers mkts. on Sat.) is from my hives on farms -apiaries. Soon to come : a new apiary at "The Orange Show" and the 288/hwy.6 ( another customers property) area also. Also on the list is Happy Heart farm in Needville. Lots of bee moving in the next few weeks.

This colony had lots of honey that was given to the customer & neighbors also. They are now under the pear trees at Elm Grove. They were in the soffit of this home. Now they will be pollinating strawberries.
