Pirate Hat Apiary

Pirate Hat Apiary We provide live removal and relocation of honey bee colonies.

Also selling Florida Keys raw honey, honeycomb, infused specialty honey, propolis tincture, soaps, lotions, scrubs, candles and more. Pirate Hat Apiary started out as a backyard beekeeping venture but the fascinating world of bees has lured me into a more active role in preserving the honeybee. Relocation of Swarms into managed hives means fewer "unwelcome" guests making themselves at home in some

ones home or business leading to removals which can damage property or in worst case scenario extermination of the bees. We also provide removal services where we cut out the hive and transfer them into a managed hive structure and relocate them to one of our bee yards.....or if there is interest I am always open to helping people get into beekeeping themselves :-)

That's a lot of work for "less than 3 weeks" but based on the state of the brood with very little capped and none hatched out i would say 18 days is just about right :-)

Looks like the beekeeper in chief needs some swarm management lessons lol

White House gets an unexpected buzz as thousands of bees swarm the executive mansion's North Lawn

Thousands of bees swarmed the White House North Lawn Friday, weeks after Melania Trump announced the addition of two new bee colonies to the property.

This should be a nice time if you are looking for something to do Saturday.

I don't know names ...but thank you so much. This makes me smile.
