Wild bees can’t be broken

The bees decided normal frames were not good enough, so made their own comb hanging underneath the box.  Husband donned his suit to figure it out. 

There’s a YouTube famous beekeeper that will take wild comb like this and balance it inside frames with rubber bands.  Idea being that it disturbs the bees less if they keep what they worked for.

After the comb was removed from the hive bottom grate, the bees were still hanging on.

First a swarm in the yard, now this.

 This is not a pajama top.  He just likes to party all night.
