Bee Removal 038 - Bees in Tractor Trailer Tire Well I can definitely say this is a first! Not just to get bee out, but to cut a tire at all. Everything I read said to just cut the sidewall with a knife, but this one had steel belts in the sidewall as well, so I had to use my sawzall. That worked pretty well, but I ran out of battery. I was able to get a decent window opened up to work in though. These bees were also very docile. I didn't take my veil off, but that's because they were flying in around my head the entire time. This is a BIG colony and they did not slow down foraging on my behalf, so the nectar and pollen was still coming in the whole time I was working. I did take off my gloves, as I had to to move bees by hand. wearing gloves you can't feel the bees to know if you're crushing them or not. I got a couple stings on the fingers, but what else would you expect!? I ended up using beequick to drive them out of the tire. Eventually I saw the queen walk out along the sidewall on her way to the box and I nabbed her! Check out my other channels!

You should have removed the tire from the vehicle, then rolled the wheel down a hill while playing Benny Hill song as the bees chase their tire nest.

Question, once you get them in their new home how do you transport the hive and keep them in the box?

I'd hate being around bees, never been stung. Not even once. Not looking forward to be stung either. The honey is quite satisfying though. Haha great vid.

You might as well burn the entire tires or thrown them in the ocean.
