Harnessed to a railing. Five hours on a steep hillside, one hive inside a retaining wall, no cut out possible only option: smoke and patience. Smokehouse our last resort, but sometimes they’re the only way to safely relocate a colony.

This is a very rare bumblebee sighting in the heart of Los Angeles. Bumblebees live underground in colonies of hundreds, and it’s rare because they need soft ground in order to build their nest, which doesn’t exist in too many places in the heart of the city. 🐝

Spring is the time of year when the bee populations explode in order to catch all of the fresh flower blossoms and this is what a hive looks like when it’s ready for more space immediately.

Lady Fautrix…Mallophora Fautrix. Latin is beautiful isn’t it? This half sweet half menacing looking insect is also known as the “bee killer”, or Robber Fly. They hunt alone during the day perched vertically or horizontally on a stem or branch waiting to spot a tasty bee to feast on.

When you eat honey you are imbibing the deep memory of the earth alchemized by the bees. - Chaise Levy

With Summer comes more bees in your yard, which is a VERY good sign that you’re supporting the local honey bee population. Although it's rare, there are chances of a bee sting for barefoot kiddos and those around a pool. Bees need water too, and they also need a comfortable to land on while they drink. So if you happen into one of those rare stings on the soul of your foot. These are my tips for managing it.

Tip 1: Remove the stinger, but don't squeeze it. Instead, use your fingernail to scrape it off.
Tip 2: Put ice on the sting to reduce pain and inflammation.
Tip 3: For a homeopathic remedy, Melissa oil is very effective at alleviating stinger pain.

Remember: This is just friendly beekeeper advice and you should always consult your doctor about a sting that appears to be swelling excessively.

Bees in trees! Why do they love to build hives in trees? Well...

It's quite common for bees to build hives in the hollows of trees and there are a couple of different reasons. The hive will be insulated, protected from the elements and high off the ground, making it more difficult for pests and predators to reach the hive.

These are just a couple of the jobs I tackled to safely remove the bees from trees and here's how I do it.
+ Often I use an extension ladder and sometimes a hydraulic lift.
+ Then, I work very slowly with utmost patience and smoke to calm the bees. This is especially important on an open air hive, as the entire hive is exposed and anything that causes a large shake or disturbance can result in lots of angry bees.
+ I work to get a majority of the bees into the bee vac so they can be ushered into their new portable hive.
+ At this point I can see how the structure is built in and methodically take it apart to prevent any tree parts from falling down.

If you find a bee hive in a tree in your yard, it's important to remember:
- Reducing light helps to protect the bees. So consider turning off your porch light.
- Open air hives (vs in a tree cavity), sensitive to heat waves and high winds, are prone to falling down.
- Bees are sensitive to vibrations and chemicals so be careful if using lawnmowers, paint or chemicals near the hive. Bees don't look for a fight but they can become defensive in these situations.
- If the hive becomes a true nuisance, give Save My Bees a call.
