Great weekend on the bees with Matt from Squeak-a-Boo Pest Management. Successfully completed a tricky bee removal/rehoming on a school gym roof, the parapet blocks weighed a ton and were the only way to access the colony, but there’s always a way when you take it steady and think things through! all sorted though and the two colonies are now safely set up in their new home. Happy days!
