It's a hobby for him, he keeps lots of hives. No charge to me if he can
keep the bees he removes.

How do people end up in this line of work? I cannot imagine getting
stung with regularity...
When I was in Fiji I was stung twice by Asian (?) hornets. My heart
almost stopped beating from the pain. The hornet lived to carry on
its business.

So after the rains of the last few days stopped the bee guy came
to deal
with these bees I have in an eave on my side porch. He opened up the
soffit and there are 11 combs up in there between the rafters and
nailers. He said the combs look empty, no honey (but something
else in
there I forget what he called it), but there is one new comb in the
front. He says the bees might be robbing it of honey and taking it
somewhere else if the queen has vacated. he had to go home and
get some
more equipment or something. One bee hit him on the ear as he was
not
wearing his protective gear, even though he has been stung
hundreds of
times he says it still affects him, his ear will likely swell up.
He's supposed to come back and try to find the queen or deal with
it all
somehow. It is all quite interesting.
