Looks like great Blog content. They are free. Why are you so afraid of them? You can ban people you don't like.

Seems the perfect answer for you. What's wrong with this solution Aunt Betty? Afraid only you and your aliases will join?

Yup. It sure would be quiet

Kno3 with some bone meal and Epsom salt will make 40 lbs of sugary pink meat. Can’t wait.

[Ricky Spanish]

Need to get these in service quick.
No frames or foundations.
It's about $2.80/frame with foundations and I need 100.
Mo munny.

It looks like a bullet hole but only goes thru the skin and not the osb inside.
What the hell kind of weak assed pistol does that?
Great I've got a hole for a power connection now.
Shore power.

This is way too sciency...
The problem aint the soil it's sunshine.
You guys bake because you only have one season...hell.
Just kidding, take it easy, but my growing season here in zone 5 or whatever just is not the same at all.
We shall see.

I can't plant until mid may I think.
Might take a chance with a few seeds and start them may 1rst. May June July is about 90 days so mid August maybe. I will have to water them because around July 4th we dry up and bake like hell finally.

Punk ass mother fucking ...
Naggers.
I told yuh these kids run around just shooting stuff.

Maybe if I put them stickers all over it...never notice a new hole

AB, I noticed yesterday that I've got honey bees starting to nest under the siding on my house. Weighing options: kill'em with liquid Sevin, or call an Apiary and pay to have somebody remove. Curious what an Apiary might charge?

Ouch.
Decide quickly I guess.
A swarm moved in it sounds like.
Just killing them is a bad idea but sevin is a great choice.
If you kill the bees other critters will show up eventually and maybe even more bees next year.
Ideally you pay some guy that's experienced to figure out the best way to remove the colony.
It might be easiest to cut a hole in drywall or it might be easiest to pull off some siding and sheeting.
The idea is to remove all the honeycomb and clean up any honey then repair.
The repair part is on you.
I'm sorry but the beekeeper will want $300 or at least I would. The repairs might be easy if the guy is good and careful they usually are.

They use a flir camera to locate the heat from the bees.
We did anyway. It might not be so bad.

I'd be best to get it right because you'll lose sleep wondering what's going on inside the walls.
On one hand you need to hurry but on the other hand don't get in a big assed rush.
Try and find the right guy. Start by figuring out the "bee club" in your area. There is one I guarantee.
What you need done is called a removal or a cutout.
oh...step one is take pictures. I insist on that before I travel. What happens is I get there and it's a wasp nest.
I'm sure you know the difference but the beekeeper will need convincing

[Ricky Spanish]

Deltaman we used an oscillating saw to very carefully cut a hole precisely where it needed to be.
A craftsman could just put back the piece we cut out after we got done.
I've had removals on roofs where we just put back what we'd flipped up carefully. Sometimes you get really lucky on a new swarm like that that isn't super huge.

[Ricky Spanish]

That's from a job we did on a very very old brick house in Fisher, Illinois. Balloon framed.
Second floor...if you drop a tool in the wall it ends up on the basement floor.

Bees were traveling in that left opening.
It fooled us into making that hole way too big.
Not the best example but it's all I got.
Cloud has some issues

That hive obviously had survived the winter there.
That house had another one too.

A twofer.

[Ricky Spanish]

That's real.
Futher muckers and I can't shoot back.

So when the cop pulls me over he's going to assume I just was in a shootout. Nice
At least it's kind of an old beater but get a new one.. nah.
It didn't even dent the door liner.

Guess you're not as well liked as you think

Thanks AB, and I reached out to the Mobile County Bee Keepers Assoc. on FB, and await a reply. Had to "Join" in order to ask, so we'll see. I did call a fellow that used to do bee removal here, but he has since moved. Told Him I hoped I didn't have to kill them, because I have heard they are in short supply. He said yes, and no! Said there is a shortage of wild bees, but these are probably not wild, and said not to feel bad if I had to kill them. My home is two story, brick on bottom, wood on top, that I had vinyl sided 15 years ago. Not gonna spend a fortune for cutout if that is what is recommended. There "were" bees in that same spot 13 or 14 years ago, and after finding out it was gonna cost me $350 for somebody to come out, I got one of those sprayers with a flat head, and pumped Sevin into it. Started with liquid Sevin and a squirt gun, but that was messy, and I couldn't get it deep enough under the siding. Pumping the stuff under there with the sprayer took care of them. We'll see what the Bee guys say, if they bother to respond.

[Deltaman]

Had a local bee guy come today. He had an infrared camera for pinpointing them in the wall. Did a small cut out, sprayed a pheromone' blocking substance into it, which drove the bees out, then used a vacuum to clean it up, and used a clear silicone on the border where they had been getting in. Cost $450 for the removal, and I'll spend another $175.00 to have the ceiling fixed. Sheeze Louise, hated to spend the dough, but at least the bees are out of the wall!

[OGblackcloud]

Good on ya Dman for not having them killed

[Deltaman]

Thanks! Wallet wasn't happy, but it made me feel better about it. Hate killing anything if not necessary.......cept maybe a duck, ha ha!!!!!!!
He gave a qt of some local honey as well. Was putting it in my pantry and found an almost empty bottle of AB's honey, hidden in the back The last plastic bear from a gallon that I bought a couple of years ago

Saw Ehlers had logged on so I texted him.
Lot of news.
He had covid 4 times?!?

The bomb...
John said he'd posted on DHC a year ago, came back to look and his post is in the #1 spot.
In other words DHC is dead. Zero traffic.
We ain't going to let that happen here are we?

Oh yeah Junior has over 40 hogs.
They make bacon and hams in a very slick smoker made from an old display refrigeration unit.
Hope jehler can start posting the stuff they do on his hobby farm is amazing.
