The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea ,than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

most often i find my greatest source of stress to be OPS ( other peoples stupidity )
It is better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and in so doing remove all doubt.

Did you see any eggs or any day old larva. If You did, they should be able to make a Q.

What a neat hole. How did you know where the colony was?
It's a shame the tree will be going. You could add a little verandah and it would make a nice perch for a koala or whatever.

I just cut a window below the entrance hole to establish where the bottom of the hive started and worked my way up. Last tree I done was almost eight foot tall hive. Blanc |

You could have shaped that tree into a "tiki head" and really made a statement!

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Hey Scott, It is a huge pecan and too close for comfort for the owner so has to come down. Hive was smaller than I expected and did a combine with a strong hive. Too early of spring weather here to be comfortable. Pics looked like big numbers but they were all out ready for the attack.  Blanc |

Great pictures, now I am getting anxious for warmer weather , I have two removals waiting for me, one in an old farmhouse and one in a tree, the tree will be a trapout only, on the farm house I may do a trapout first then remove the rest.

Great photos, thanks for posting! I can't wait for the weather to break and I can do those again. Cutting the pecan down to boot? I'm looking at all the great wood for my BBQ pit and outdoor brick oven.
