Crop Polination
Bee Pollination
What is Crop Pollination?
The Honey Bee is responsible for pollinating most of the fruit and vegetables that we eat. Many scientists also say that if the Honey Bee became extinct, mankind would soon follow due to the lack of fruit and vegetables. We would lose 1/4 of our fruit and vegetables, is this a major problem? If you sell fruit and vegetables at a farmers market and lost 1/4 of your income, to most that would that be a problem. You can increase your production of fruit and vegetables by 1/4 of a percent by having a colony of Honey Bees on your property.
Sounds like something you would like to consider? I will rent my Bees to you for an agreed on price and you will reap the rewards of having a stronger, more numerous fruit and vegetable production at the Farmer Market. Its a win, win situation for both of us.
Drop me a e-mail or call me today! I have Bees for rent!

Tough Year
It has been a tough year for the Bees in Western Pa. I have talked to many Bee Keepers who have lost many of their colonies due to the weather. The good news is that it has also been a good year for swarms. I traved to South Western Pa and picked up a swarm in Carmichael, Pa. I have also had luck in the local area gathering swarms.
I am going to a friends House and taking a colony out of his basement and also looking at a colony in an apartment building in Greensburg, Pa.
I plan to get more into Commercial pollination next year so if you are looking for Bees give me a call.

Hornet Removal In Waterford
Yesterday I received a call from a a lady who had a nest of Hornets in a pear tree. She asked me how to get rid of these unwelcome guests on her property, “I think we are going to spray them at night”. Hornet nest are made so they can handle the weather and rain. It can also keep out the spray and if you do this at night you will most likely have some one holding a light for you so you can see where the entrance is. You will get allot of the bees but the ones you don’t get are going to come straight to the light, I wouldn’t want to be the one holding the light.
I removed the nest with all the bees inside which totally removes the problem. I do this with the bees still alive which is not the easiest task to accomplish but it can be done with care and a little luck.
This was a pretty huge nest and will make a very nice display item when I get it completed.
Cost of Hornet removal is based on the location of the nest and the danger involved in the job.
Another successful bee removal!
