Some months back there was a Bee hive growing in my garden. Initially I was very scared of it as it was sitting right on my plant where I would water, but then gradually I started getting used to it and watered my plant carefully to not disturb the hive. It was sometime mid-November that it had formed and started growing.
Finally, yesterday we removed the Bee Hive and got the honey out of it. One of my hubby's friend is an expert in doing this and he does it with bare hands. I was really shocked to see how he was doing it without any gear or protection. He has been doing this since many years and has a knack of doing it. I was watching it from the glass door. Bees were not stinging him or that he was afraid. He was doing it very gently and with a calm mind and managed to remove the hive.
The Plant on which it's growing.
The full hive ready to be removed. It's growing in such a place that I cannot allow it to grow more. It's started touching the soil in the plant, so we had to remove it.
Our friend starts by first removing the bees on the side. He does it all with his hands as you can see
I was feeling scared looking at him, but he was very comfortable doing it.
He removes a part of the hive, ties it up on a small bamboo and keeps it aside. He told us that this in the end he will again join it up in the place where it's growing and from there on again there will be a new hive growing.
He starts to remove the honey combs
Very effortlessly he has managed to do it.
He asked us to keep the bowl in the Sun and all the honey would come out.
After this he arranged the honeycomb, he had tied on the bamboo stick back again where it had grown, and after 2 hours I saw, already all the bees had got back on it.
Whole morning, I kept it in the Sun and the honey is out, it's a small quantity, but I am still so excited that it's from my garden.
I need to let this bee hive again build up. The next to time to remove will be sometime in June, so till then again, I need to keep taking care of my plant and the hive as well.
