Beekeepers removing "guests" from our guest trailer

We had a hive of very mellow bees in the trailer closet. We tried to get JJ to put a paper bag, with eye holes cut out and swim goggles over them, over his head (as a cheap veil) and remove the bees, but he refused so we got the pros. They cut the egg bearing cones into pancake size shapes, placed them into wooden "frames" shown here, placed about 6 of those frames into a wooden bee box, put the box into the closet overnight to attract the loose bees, and removed the hive this morning. We have all been eating fresh honey. JJ and Dave watched the operation from the comfort of the car. Skippy was braver and stood in the yard until he took off running for the palapa with bees after him. JJ and Dave promptly locked the car doors so Skippy wouldn´t try to get in away from the bees and let bees in the car. We plan on getting beekeeping supplies and go into the honey business, with Skippy making mead.
