Even though I was back in Jamaica since that cutout, I didn’t think to investigate its fate.<br /><br />Wild colonies can start in strange places, especially here in Honduras with the Africanized bees. They don’t seem to be that particular about where they begin their new hive—an old sofa stored outside, water meter boxes in the ground, mausoleums in the cemetery, drainage pipes, an old tool cabinet at the gas station, roofs of houses, and then the occasional open-air colony. Each one is a different type of challenge.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490987206515813390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316091385381676403.post-9060741784028222222017-01-02T16:55:02.806-08:002017-01-02T16:55:02.806-08:00Yeah!!

And the fun thing is, each job is different and needs a different plan and approach so it's always engaging. I wonder if this lil colony made it. Sometimes even smallish ones get going and make a new queen.Beestronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056650042776711461noreply@blogger.com
