A beehive is an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young. Natural beehives are naturally occurring structures occupied by honeybee colonies, such as hollowed-out trees, while domesticated honeybees live in man-made beehives, often in an apiary. These man-made structures are typically referred to as "beehives". Several species of Apis live in hives, but only the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are domesticated by humans. A natural beehive is comparable to a bird's nest built with a purpose to protect the dweller.
The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed group of hexagonal cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen) and to house the "brood" (eggs, larvae, and pupae).
Artificial beehives serve several purposes: production of honey, pollination of nearby crops, housing supply bees for apitherapy treatment, as safe housing for bees in an attempt to mitigate the effects of colony collapse disorder, and to keep bees as pets. Artificial hives are commonly transported so that bees can pollinate crops in other areas. A number of patents have been issued for beehive designs.
We Removed a swarm of Honey Bees with No protection and then relocated them to a new home. Transportation of the bees was an open box in front seat on daniel's lap! Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse NY Call for all your pest control needs today! 585-426-5024

Getting honey without an extractor
This video is a good example of what we deal with a lot of the time when someone calls to say they have bees around their house. They have never really been around bees other than what they see on a flower once in a while and they can't accurately describe what they have or what is going on. Sometimes they have wasps or carpenter bees or maybe a honey bee landed on their window. We never know what we'll find when we go chasing bees.We usually try and get them to text photos but they send us pictures of grass or sky or the neighbors car. We can rarely see what they are trying to show. About %25 of the calls we get to come get bees turn into a dead end. This was the second swarm call in two weeks that turned out to be a hive removal rather than a swarm capture. I'm all about the fun...
Beekeeping is an exciting and fast growing hobby. Maybe you started keeping bees recently but aren't sure how to inspect your hive. Without knowing what to do, your hive could perish. Follow me in this video as I take you through a complete inspection. I'll even pick up the queen for you!

This week we finally harvest honey from our bee hives. Check out the process of how you harvest honey from a bee hive and what it looks like inside of a bee hive. We take a look at the girls (the bees) as we open the hive, remove the frames, and begin to process all the honey. Harvesting honey is an incredible experience and one that we are happy to share.
Most of us down south lost things during Hurricane Katrina. This family gained something.... bees. This lady now has grand children living with her and she doesn't want to take any chances on them getting stung so she had us remove them (the bees, not the grand children). They now live at my house. There is also a time lapse video of this entire removal. It can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCvVc_K3qMs The wide angle time camera used for the time lapse can be found on our affiliate link here: http://amzn.to/1W43xvn
