Beekeeper's advice for the day: It's springtime, which is swarming season. If you do not want to have to deal with bees in your walls, make sure to either seal up or put mesh over any exterior hole in your house (especially your eaves and siding), particularly holes that are about penny to thumbtack sized. #beekeeping#advice
only mentioning this because my phone messages are piling up this week about bees in people's homes. As a hobbyist, won't even TOUCH trying to remove bees form an attic, it's a LOT of work and thousands of dollars to do properly. (pesticide companies aren't the answer, either -- 30,000 dead bees in your attic smells horrible for months, and they'll just move in again the next year).
@stuartl Yep, yep, sudden onrush of honey producing insects with stingers, LOL. We've filled nearly every empty hive box we had set up or lost hives in over the winter. (er... correction, swarms have found them...)
