Andrew from Cheviot Hills called the Bee Rescue Hotline when he tried to move an outdoor propane heater, only to discover some bees had taken up residence under the cover.
Hmmm....
Wow!
Thankfully, my nephew Joshua came to help me because when we unzipped the cover, it ended up being a pretty large hive.
Joshua smoked them up really well and then we laid the heater on its side to begin cutting them into frames. Joshua has never handled bees before but laid everything out like a pro.
It was a messy job and it took over an hour but they were framed up and moved to their new hive in Venice, California.
