Nuc swarm transfer
« on: September 10, 2019, 06:02:40 pm »
I?ve got a tree limb in an empty 5 framer taped shut. What?s best way to make a new home for this ?
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Then all else falls in line
It?s up to me

Shake bees off limb and add frames once it's on the stand where they will be.

wont hurt to add a little brood comb to it before or shortly after.

Sounds great - I got some brood I just picked up with a queenless hive
