We do rehome bumblebees as well. Yeah, so. What's So what's that like? We're rehoming bumblebees. They scare me more than Wasps. Oh, OK. Because they're like little chinooks coming at your face and your veil. Because you we don't use any chemicals. I made myself a bee Hoover box and one of the fabricators at TWS made me a philtre for the box so I could put a Hoover on it. And the way I, I do them is you go you, you can actually see where the bumblebees are. They fluff the insulation up a little bit so you can virtually see where it's a bit like a squirrel in the loft.
You go where a squirrel fluffs the insulation up. Bumblebees do the same virtually. They fluff the insulation in the loft so you you can virtually know where a bumblebee's next bit. And I take the B Uber box. Yeah. I just pick the whole nest up and put it in the box and then open the aperture, close the lid, go back at night when all the bumblebees coming back in to go to the queen. Close the aperture if you've got them all in there. If not I stick my vacuum on the end and I vacuum the rest up into the box and go plant them somewhere else then then in my mates woods.
You're making this sound very easy. You're making this sound very easy. No, the easiest one's a bird box. You just get a bird box with fog on the base, put that in your box, and then you just go and nail that to the tree in some woods. That's that's easy. But yeah, that's funny. I'm just running this through that. But yeah, so we've covered, we've covered wasp actual, actual removal. Yeah, and, and bees as well. That's that's pretty cool.
