Buzzy

IMG_0030
Some time ago, we let Marlin know that we would be interested in any captured swarms he might happen upon. But it is pretty late in the season for swarming, so we were not expecting his call this evening. It was a particularly tricky case of a colony inside a pillar, so Marlin thought Robb might want to help with the extraction. And did he ever!

It looked like there had been a colony living there once in the past, as there was some old comb built up. They ended up having to scoop up big troughs of the bees and dumping them into their new home. Zeke has dubbed this little family, "Buzzy."
