Good Morning!

Nah he was a pest controller @Historylover that removes bees wasps and all kinds of things. I have called bee keepers in the past but I have found it hard trying to get someone out to the property.

Swarm Patrol another internet mob is pretty cool though. Its a free service for bee enthusiasts to be linked to swarm alerts in their local neighbourhood. They come out to your property at no cost to you and take off with your bees. Had someone from there once but the bees got into the wall cavity quickly on Monday so needed it done there and then.

Good Morning @Glisten @Historylover @Former-Member @tonys @saturnzoon @MDT @StuF @StanD @Kyle1 @Emelia8 @Sophia1 @Clawde hope there is some good in all of your days.

found this place looking at radio . has bug out bags, fire lighters, spear makers, 1000 dift knives etc etc lol

Yes @TAB I have used survival supplies australia before. Nearly forgot to include my solar radio in bugout bag. Will do that now thankyou. Included my solar phone recharger in it which I bought on ebay last year. Do you have a gas mask for smoke inhalation? I had one for many years. Just changed over the filters this morning. I have a Sundstrom which I bought on Absafe. I just buy new filters each year, the particulate matter gets out fumes as well as smoke its what fire fighters use. Got me through the fires several years ago when there was heavy smoke in the air. If you can't get a gas mask you can use a wet towel or facewash over your nose and mouth to stop the smoke getting in, that is what I learned online but you wouldn't use it to walk into a fire. Also antioxidants like Vitamin C or Glutathione to detox your body from smoke inhalation I read from a healer in the USA who recommended these things when fires were out of control over there. Antioxidants detox the body of foreign matter inhaled through lungs

He doesn't k l the bees, does he @Former-Member ? They are rather a priceless commodity these days. Jobs must be few and far between I would imagine, although enough to give him a living it seems (especially at your place).

Perhaps you should take up beekeeping @Former-Member 🤔.

Yes I am aware of the dwindling bee problem. I try and get beekeepers out but in this instance had to have these bees destroyed as they were stuck in my wall cavity in the late afternoon and flying in the house @Historylover. Swarm Patrol is pretty good for capturing bees and taking them to a hive. They entered the wall cavity quickly. Nothing I could do I needed someone fast. Learned on Monday from this pest controller that you can call out people and they never come and you are left high and dry. The last time I called a beekeeper they still could not get the bees out of the wall so he had no choice other than to destroy them. So it doesn't seem to matter if you get a bee keeper or pest controller in some instances. But yes always try and save bees if possible but yes can be disappointing if you can't get them out.
