In that case , poison the little suckers in the shed .

yeah, i got up early this morning and gave them
some trouble. it definitely knocked the population
count down, cuz now when i pound on the wall there's
not quite so much noise in there. then i got the
tools out of there i needed and plugged it all up
again for the day.


Good beekeeper
etiquette would be for the owner of those hives to contact you before
placing them ... if they're actually on your property without permission ,
you probably have legal recourse to either make the owner move them or pay
you for the use of your property . My hives are all within 50 feet of the
house and we rarely have any problems . They can be a little ****y during
times of dearth , but usually only bother us when I've been in the hives for
an inspection .

i gotta be diplomatic, yet get the point made...
friends own the property to the north which shares
the access road. i think they forgot completely
that we share that road... what i'm planning on
doing is telling them that it's ok to leave them
this season, but to not put them there next year.
they'd need to put them back another few hundred
feet to not be a problem if we need to use the
access cleared through the trees.
