Blooming flowers, warm temperatures, and sunny skies are the perfect recipe for encouraging fun in the sun. But along with spring comes buzzing from bees nests.
Recently a large bees nest was discovered in the Diamond neighborhood in close proximity to residences while a contractor working for Motiva and Shell was removing brush and tree limbs. In order to eliminate community residents being injured by bee stings, Motiva employee Richard Green and his department took action and arranged for a beekeeper to remove the hive.
The beekeeper used a vacuum to remove the majority of the bees from the hive and captured the queen. Using this special vacuum, the beekeeper was able to keep the bees safe, so they could be used in the future to harvest their honey.
After collecting the bees, the bees nest was treated with dusts of bendiocarb (Ficam D) or Delta Dust.
