Removing bees behind hurricane shutter Jan 2008


This hurricane cover over a sliding glass door was left in place well after hurricane season had passed. The home owners were seeing a few bees inside but thought they were in the attic. The blinds covering the sliding glass door were never opened so they never saw the large nest behind the plywood and up against the glass.


I did an inspection outside and saw the bees entering behind the cover through a space left around the upper track of the door.




After the plywood panels were removed the large nest the bees had built in just a few weeks was exposed. The bees were vacuumed off into the bee-vac and the comb cleaned off the tracks and glass.
