Heres a cool story. Some Beeline team members have been doing beehive rescues.
Sometimes there are beehives in older buildings which are in danger of being demoed.
This hive was in an old outhouse.


Rather than destroy the hive (most people call in a pest control company), we've put the word out around the island about our services. So the boys show up and smoke out the hive (calms the bees down). Then go in and rescue as much of the hive as possible, most importantly the queen.

Usually they get a few stings, but its always worth it. The bee colony gets saved, the home owner saves $, no poisons are sprayed and we get some awesome honey too! The bees are transported in a box to a new location to where they can go on with a happy life of making honey and pollinating local plants.


Bees are incredible creatures, who make life possible for us on planet Earth.
