Bee removal is the process of removing bees from a location. Professional services exist for this purpose. Since the honey bee is considered to be the most beneficial of all insect species, [1] and bee colonies have potential economic value, professional bee removal typically involves a beekeeper transferring them to a new location where they can be cared for and used for crop pollination and ...
The bees normally show no sign of disturbance, and any bees in the flow frame at the time are not harmed. Clean honey can be produced and filtration is not normally required. [2] The system is then reset and the bees clean up any remaining honey, remove the capping, and refill the cells, beginning the process again.
A bee vac is a type of vacuum cleaner, factory-made or home-made, designed to suck up live honeybees without killing or damaging them. It can be used to remove bees when capturing a feral colony, or where a swarm has settled. It uses a solid reception bin, not a dustbag.

Honey bees consume about 8.4 lb (3.8 kg) of honey to secrete 1 lb (450 g) of wax, [1] and so beekeepers may return the wax to the hive after harvesting the honey to improve honey outputs. The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal honey extractor .
Gardening Naturally is a television series hosted by Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman. [1] The show first aired from 1993 to 1994 and continued to run until about 2003. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It initially aired on TLC (The Learning Channel) and later reruns were shown on Discovery Home and Leisure .
The metabolism of bees and humans is sufficiently different that bees can safely collect nectars from plants that contain compounds toxic to humans. The honey produced by bees from these toxic nectars can be poisonous if consumed by humans. In addition, natural processes can introduce toxic substances into honey produced from nontoxic nectar.
Natural bee colony in the hollow of a tree. Honey bees use caves, rock cavities, and hollow trees as natural nesting sites. In warmer climates, they may build exposed hanging nests; members of other subgenera have exposed aerial combs. Multiple parallel honeycombs form the hive with a relatively uniform bee space. It usually has a single entrance.
