We had to call someone to do some bee removal. The bees moved into a mobile home that we use for storage. Mom and I are going to make it into a professional kitchen to do her canning and have a space in there for my soaping.

The bee guy came walking over to my place with these in his hands, covered in honey drippings and bees, said they were the best of the bunch so far. He had already filled up one bucket and needed another. At this point he isnt sure he can get all the bees in one trip. He is going to give us as much of the honey and wax that he can. He also mentioned taking some and melting it down for me.

My Mom and I were making all kinds of squeals when we were taking these pictures.

Bee guy said the comb goes all the way across a section that is 16 inches wide and 14ft long.

Natural beeswax will make some awesome lotion bars or soap.
