Bumblebee nest

One evening Troy helped a farmer that had a bumblebee in a stack of hay. The farmer did not want to poison the hay because he wanted to feed it to his horses so Troy worked to capture the bumblebees and remove the nest.

This is what a bumblebee nest looks like up close.

This is the bumblebee queen on her nest.

Bumblebees are a little different from honeybees. Troy was stung through his bee suit five times and once more through his leather glove while removing this nest.
