Bee removal cut out from a tire by Santa Barbara Hives

The scout bees did their job and found a really nice place to make a new home in a tire protected by a pile of wood. We got the call last Fall from the owner that saw the swarm settling into the tire and offered to come and get them. Fast forward to the imminent Spring with beautiful weather and bloom and the bees not only survived the winter in their tire hive but they were about to explode in numbers and were much more active so we came in and placed them into a double hive box so we could relocate them to one of Santa Barbara Hives local apiaries.
