Cs 101

[gibbon]

I have just invented CS 101. It involves using a mobile crane to remove a tree with an active bees nest inside. Pre-rec is a week old broken rib.

 

We were contracted in by another firm to remove this Oak for development. We already postponed the job once and in the mean time I managed to break a rib. Had the crane booked and an builders ready to build so I had to dose up on painkillers and get on with it.

 

The other firm had wrapped some sacking around the nest to keep most of the bees in, still loads buzzing around but no-one got stung. It wasn't that big and I did the brash, chopper in the red helmet did the large saw work on the stem that I couldn't manage. It was his first time climbing on a crane job and did very well.

 

We relocated the bees at the end of day and no-one got a sting!

Nice work. Im after some more swarms this year as mine are doing very badly at the moment

 

Glad to here the bees are all O.K.

daft question, are bees protected?

 

no better taste in the world than sticking youre hand in honey combe and eating the honey

[gibbon]

Apparently not. That was the reason for the crane so they could be removed carefully. It was too difficult for a bee keeper to remove them and would have been a shame to kill them just to save the cost of a crane for a day in the context of several new homes.

Top work!

 

Whoever sanctioned the crane and saved the bees should get a medal IMO.

 

How do your ribs feel now mate?
