You have a great way with words. When I read "jersey shore type", I formed a perfect mental picture of the guy running to his truck, leaving a cloud of cologne behind him.

lol, thats exactly what he was. He had the whole spiked hair greased up look. I almost started calling him "the Situation" while he was here. "The Situation" I believe is actually a local boy to this area if I recall, maybe they go to the same salon
finally pics!
so here is the huge hole these guys opened up in the trim-
after the honeycomb was removed, this board looks burnt, but thats actually the resin they coat the inside of the hive with, goes on for another couple feet inside-
Heres a better pic of the resin dripping near one of their favorite entrances, notice how the bees smoothed over the entrance edge of the board for maximum efficiency. Must be like glassy marble to them-
this is our sample, the honey is delicious-
Heres probably the group that attacked the situation when he ran for the truck. This was after the major removal, but we still have a couple hundred a day end up inside the house taking shelter for at least 3 days. Coming up through the floorboards and any other cracks. These guys were pissed, I got the hell out of dodge before they attacked. Will be nice to actually use this room soon.
fortunately no bee yet born can stand the wrath of a 5hp wet dry vac sucking them into oblivion. The custom one keeps them alive, but a regular one will kill them when they make the sharp turns.
