Garden Farms Bees

The following photo gives some perspective of the site we were
working with. I put several hours in just grading and building up
the bank so that we had some level ground to work on and to place the
hive for a few weeks. I had three ladders available ... I didn't
know for sure if we would find the nest at ground level. It turned
out the ladders weren't needed!

The first two boards removed, showing the top part of the nest.
