4-3-12 Bay Window Roof

The fellow on the ladder is Jacob our newest helper. He's working out quite well so far this year. The colony despite the looks is absolutely HUGE! The bees/hive just kept going back into the roof. We ended up using 2 baskets to collect all the bees and I put them into a double deep hive when we got back to the bee yard. I'd easily say there were 40 - 50 thousand bees in this newly established colony.
