Turns out that the bee extraction from a hollow pillar at my friends house is a lot more complicated than I had originally thought. I have spoken now to about five different, very experienced, beekeepers, and they all have the same expression on their face when I tell them where the bees are. it’s a look of concern and not a lot of hope. It is also looking like it will either cost money to get them out or cost the colony’s life itself. I would hate for any colony to die, so I would give them up to whoever is willing to go in and get them. I will insist on helping though, so I can gain the experience. It’s really hard to put a price on that. The local beekeepers are willing to teach a rookie like me, so that right there is worth my time and effort. But it would be really be nice to get the knowledge and the bees.
