Creepy

This house was near lots of very large bamboo.  When the wind blows the bamboo hits and rubs against each other and makes a creepy clicking and clacking noise.  If you were out there at night without any light it would really creep you out I bet.  These bees had been there for about 9-12 months.  We got some usable honey from them, but most was uncapped.  There were lots of brood though.  As you can see in the picture we took a lesson from government workers, one guy is working on the ladder while the others are standing around. We couldn’t seem to get the bees into the nuc until we put it on the roof.  Then they started trooping right in.
