Why they are in the greenhoouse
A flower and a strawberry. Two very good reasons!
Gundermann Farms greenhouse has 5 beehives inside now
5 small colonies now call this strawberry greenhouse home. They are warm and snug there and able to grow in size to be ready for spring.
George Wood Props. Bee Colony in League City
These bees were in the wall of a house. The folks at the leasing office got 20 lbs of honeycomb that day. The bees also got lots back in the hive and are fine now, sorry I did not rotate picture the computer usually does it anyhow and I am not sure how to.

Queen of Beekeeping class
Here is the queen of this Saturdays class, on the bottom of the frame in my hand. The class will be glad to hear I picked up the 3 small hives at the apiary today and they will spend these next few days in a nice warm strawberry greenhouse at Gundermann farms! They will stay there and build up until spring comes. After looking at this I think she is not yet mated because she is small, probably from that queen cell in on the bottom of the frame. Lots of brood in this colony showed that they did have a very good well mated queen working inside, perhaps this is her daughter. I learn as much as I teach in this class.
The whole thing- a big hive!
Hers a view of the beebread and broodnest going inside to the sheetroch too. A large colony, I saw the queen in the first cage, and again as I hived them. They are snug in the hive tonight.
Honeybee removal from a wall- Almeda Genoa rd area
These bees were very nice, I think because a HCBA member lives nearby and they are nice bees from his hives!The customer got honey, gas station guy, and Frobergs Farm over here in Alvin. Plenty for these bees too of course, and a swarm in a tree at the apiary. Sometimes the bees make lots of honey!
From tree to hive in a day
Here they are in the beehive...happy now.
bees in a tree
A huge old oak fell, and bees were in the limbs inside a cavity there. They are in the cage, queen is on the outside of the cage.
The bees in the bedroom
This back bedroom is the one my mom uses when she stays here. She will be here tonight and by then these girls & guys will be in their hives. I just want to show the proof here and now, your bees always are given the chance to fulfill the place meant for them in this life.The queen from the small colony (closest to me) is in the little cage inside of the big one, caught her bare handed. 2nd queen from 2nd colony is inside of that cage w her bees. WE really do save the bees. Jars of honey behind me are the few left from this years harvest from my hives.
