This colony of bees was about 3 times larger than what I anticipated it would be, really nice open air colony!
Biggest rat snake I've ever seen seemed to be guarding the tower. I got up close & personal with him but he wasn't in a playful mood, at all!
He looked like he was about to shed & if you know anything about snakes, it's that they don't like to be messed with when they're about to shed. So of course I had to touch him, have to confess it was a bit of a challenge.
Once I touched him he immediately went into strike mode but I wasn't about to let him succeed in that capacity, no sir!
Most of this video was filmed with a GoPro Hero 7 camera courtesy of my good buddy Yappy Bee Man, check out his youtube channel if you have the opportunity, you won't be disappointed!
Yappy & I traded cameras & I wound up with one I could put to good use.
Included in this video are 3 different inspections that chronicle the colony's progress over a 3 week period.
The bee vac I helped test & design is the Colorado Bee Vac which can be purchased at www.coloradobeerescue.com
