We had a HUGE hive up in our tree in the backyard. We were scared to death that it would fall to the ground (the one in the front yard did a few years ago) while Sensi or me (I'm allergic) was outside. We called every Beekeeper in the phone book on both sides of the Bay. They ALL told us that they can't take it as in today's world, the African Bee has managed to migrate into the honey bees. Too dangerous. We unfortunately had to get a person (there is a name for these people, just can't remember) to come and be rid of them. It broke our hearts.
The Honeybee is dwindling down and getting scarce. We are in deep trouble in regards to them. I just wish there could be something done about it. This hive we had I'm sure was all honey bees, for you should have seen all those honey cones!!! Like I said, destroying that hive was one of the hardest things we HAD to do. Just a shame but we couldn't take the chance for all concerned.
