5 News KFSM bee hive colony removal
Channel 5 News in Fort Smith Arkansas had a colony of Honey Bees that had been on the outside of their building for a couple of summers. It had grown very large and they decided they wanted it removed. The club president had become friends with the manager of Channel 5 and members decided to help with the removal. Channel 5 provided the lift and we did the rest. We wanted to save the bees and hope to put them in a hive to split them latter throughout the club members. This colony seemed very strong so we all wanted some genetics from this colony. It took about 7 hours but it was fun and a great learning experience for club members. Channel 5 did several interviews and promoted the club and our beginning beekeeping class that was only a couple weeks away.
