Well, just came across this thread, want to say hello and introduce myself. Born & raised from southeast, Louisiana. Born in New Orleans, live just outside now slightly west in Metairie. Got some wonderful chickens from Harry. My wife & I own some property in Brookhaven and Harry & I have visited twice now, will be dropping in on him when I can as I go back & forth.

I'm a country boy at heart, feel at home in the woods or on the water, love animals, love eating them too, lol. I keep bees and remove them as a service from people's homes, buildings, etc...

Harry, I will get you some honey soon my friend, that's a promise.

Go Saints! Go Tigers!

We're still around too & hi to all! wasn't the snow great?

Hope to have fertile eggs for hatching this spring from my breeder quality Blue Andalusians and Welsummers, and my fawn & white Indian Runner Ducks from Holderread's.
Also will be hatching chicks to sell. Please PM me if anybody might be interested.

My hours were cut to part time Nov 1st --will go back full time IF things ever pick up in the building material industry here. Husband was laid off; his last day is 24th so he will be looking for work. Overall though, have a lot to be thankful for, and we are.

JP will certainly keep you in mind--we had a HUGE swarm of bees last year & could not find a single soul to come get them, hated to kill them but they were inside a porch column. We get swarms almost every year-usually in the fig trees.

edited to add, we are in the central part of Louisiana.

TerriLaChicks, if they had just moved into the column they could have been forced to leave. Once established, they need to be removed, comb, honey and all, that makes for an iteresting removal. I've removed many in columns, it can be an expensive proposition.

Don't feel bad that you did what you did. Bees are wonderful until they take up residency in one's home. You did the best you could do given your circumstances.

Make certain the column is sealed properly, especially if the colony was well established. Bees have an absolutely incredible sense of smell and often a swarm will return to where a colony was once before.

Hey JP my friend. Glad you found the Louisiana thread..Guess I should
have told you about it when you were up. Well we
drove to Lafayette and made it back home around 6 this afternoon
although I thought we were going to have to get a boat to make it back home
because of all the rain.
 
SURE hope we see sunshine tomorrow, if only for a short time! We've had 3 inches here & can you say MUD?!!

JP, thank you, you made us feel a little better--yes they (the bees) had taken up residency inside the column. all has been fixed now so they can't come back in there.

I often think it would be nice to have a hive or two down at the bayou in back of our place--not really interested in harvesting honey & all that, but to fertilize the gardens--yes, it would be nice. My late uncle did that years ago & we always had such good gardens. (he did harvest the honey-I helped him once). Can you just make a home for them - the bees--and not worry about taking their honeycombs?
