If a picture is worth 1000 words, this entry ought to be worth 14K. Few words, lots of pictures. The subjects? Bees & trees.

I'm really standing at the base there.

Makes me look small. 16 hours before TIMBER!!!!!

What I saw when I came home for lunch.

Timber!!

View from the porch. We were afraid the 100+ ty old tree was going to land on the porch. The base was eroding pretty badly.

Laying the base down to rest.

Look Ma! No tree!!
Bees

Bee access was at the bottom of the shingle at the end of the yellow eave.

The hole I used to deliver massive doses of Raid the evening before this pic was taken.

First look at the whole hive.

Those roof rafters are 24″ on center

That an of Raid is all of 10″ tall. That was one of 5 cans I used.

Yellow Jackets – the Next Generations.
All Done!

Busy editing pictures! At least I was not nuts enough to climb that tree and start hacking off branches. That stop at the end of a 70 foot fall is pretty terminal!
