First, Henderson sprayed the hive with sugar water so the bees would eat it and stay on the hive. BY JAIME REBHAN
Henderson's next move was to cut the hive out of the tree. He brought a box to catch the hive. BY JAIME REBHAN

Success! The hive was removed. BY JAIME REBHAN
Beekeeper Mark Henderson helped out Animal Control Officer Carlston Wood by removing a bee hive from a tree in a Depot Street mobile home park on August 30. (Animal Control doesn't handle bees and must call for outside help for bee-removal, Wood said.)
Henderson, who is actually allergic to bees, brought the hive home with hopes of eventually harvesting some honey.
