Sometimes

Sometimes things aren’t exactly what it appears. Bee removal is not an exact science.  I tell people this all the time.  Even though we use a thermal scanner sometimes the hive is bigger than we thought.  That was the case with this hive.  We thought it was only in the ceiling, and the people who lived in the house assured us it had only been 3 or so months since the bees moved in.  But as you can see, it was a large hive.  They had even started moving down the wall. We got them out, and patched the ceiling and wall.
