local exterminator.. grrr

[duck]

has now lowered his rate on honey bees to $162.38.. 150+tax..  I did a small cutout this morning and put it back together in the rain for 150 even.  small hive that was 2 months old with 6 combs, each about a 8" wide.  put em in a nuc.   I havent had a swarm call in a month.. sure do miss em, cant wait till next year.

He's likely just spraying those colonies and leaving a rotting mess. Also likely getting lots of call backs. You are welcome to show your potential customers my video of what can potentially happen when the spray job goes awry.
