I just completed a live bee removal in Buena Park, California, where I uncovered a large hive packed with brood and the unmistakable scent of honey bees—it literally smelled like bananas 🍌🐝. The colony had already taken some losses, but the remaining bees were still going strong and working hard inside the structure. Once I opened up the space, I found brood stacked from top to bottom with fresh honey starting to form. I carefully removed most of the wax and performed a safe, humane bee rescue
