This image is a bit exaggerated, but it illustrates the difference between a worker, a queen, and a drone.

Drones are male bees. Their only job is to mate with a queen.

The queen lays eggs all day and is normally too fat to fly unless the colony wants to swarm.

The worker bees are the ones that you see every day. They do ALL the other work including housekeeping, undertaking, building, nursing baby bees, feeding the queen, and, of course, foraging

Bee removal yesterday from a compost bin in Sunland. She didn't think they were there very long. I'd say they've been there a couple of months.

Bee removal from a garage in Woodland Hills. They said they just showed up about a week ago. There was lots of old comb in there and honey was literally dripping out of the ceiling and all over us as we worked.

Had a fun job today. There was the colony that we removed. We could see that a previous colony had been removed there as there was still wax there.

On the other side of the room, there was another colony that had been removed, but there was still wax left behind. Then in yet another corner there was old comb from yet another colony!

Got it all cleaned up and sealed up. The owner is going to caulk some of where we couldn't get hardware cloth into from the old colonies.

The current colony had 11 or 12 combs.

First pic with my Flir InfraRed. This is of a hive.

This tool will be handy for assessing the situation on removal calls.

It will help to determine where, exactly, they are and about how many there are.
