Only in Africa - the sequel
Not having any typical bee protective gear the best bet was to try to move the swam of bees, that I found in my tire well yesterday, in the cold of the morning.
So with frost on the ground and barely light, with lots of layers of clothes the mission to remove the bees began.
It was cold enough that some of the outer layers of the swarm were either dead or completely immobilized by the cold.
The first plan was 1 to slide a piece of cardboard under them and then 2 dislodge the entire swarm onto it and then 3 place that into a sealable cardboard box.
Step 1 worked, Step 2 half worked.
As can be seen from the photo taken above in the half light, the cardboard slid in nicely and a portion of the swarm was dislodged. The dead or immobilized bees can be seen scattered ahead of the swarm. The rest of the swarm was still warm enough to manifest their disgust at being tampered with and a couple flew around angrily.
It was only then that it became clear that there was still a large portion of the swarm extending up into the portion of the wheel hub that houses the shock absorber mountings.
This was where the queen would be housed and it was clear that they were not planning on coming out without a fight.
The best I could do was offer them an alternative to move into when it got warmer and perhaps coax them into it later in the day by running the engine and perhaps the heat would drive them to move into the box.
Well that didn't happen Even after running the engine for an hour during lunch time they made no indication of moving, just a couple buzzed around angrily.
I then went driving around to see if that would "encourage" them to vacate their lodgings. By the evening they were still there...
I had quite a few errands to run the next morning, so made sure to do them while it was still early and cold and made sure to park well away from other cars or people.
By afternoon after driving on some very bumpy roads they finally got the message and removed themselves sometime while the car was parked.
@gavvet thats good. Bees are good for making honey. And honey is very tasty like my seet honey.:-)
Nice post good for knowledge.
For the first time I see that many bees are immovable.
Well, it's time for you to pop.
And the car stood on your street for a long time.
The sign of your car is Nissan Qashqai.
I have the same .
Holy shot that’s a lot of bees!! Great work
@gavvet, bees are the most impotent past for human being as per my knowledge.
bees gives us honey that is one of the best medicine in many cases.
And i heard that If whole bees will be dies from earth, after that only 4 years will be human life.
Very good method to remove them from the tire.
Incredible where you can stay so many times. They are a danger to people with allergies. We just have to leave them alone, relax and find a way to migrate to another place on their own. Greetings friend @gavvet
That was a great ending from yesterday...at least no one was hurt by the swarm of bees and hopefully they found some sort of home on the bark of a tree or somewhere safe. I wonder what attracted them to your car :)
Usually if we want to repel our bees make a fire, but in your case, it is very unlikely, because it can burn your favorite car.
no matter there are bees in your car, maybe it's a sign, you will be crowded with many fans in steemit, hehe
