Ok - I could have edited this to not include me dropping my phone and running but HEY, we are all friends here!! This is the poison cutout that I started and told customer to buy a box and I?ll set him a beehive up.
What you see here is the new box, a nuc that I rubberbanded what I thought was the whole hive into it on 5 frames last Saturday.
I returned today to find no bees in the nuc but dead larvae and unattended capped brood.
I opened up what you see here to find a massive comb I missed. There was so much in the back of the hot tub , I didn?t see or think there would be another area with bees.
They got angry at noon time and I went to my car to take a drink of wine and got STABBED right on the nose !!!
So here?s the video.
I?m going back tonight and complete cutout.
Question- How do I orient long comb on deep frames to keep the bees from being confused - or just break it up and tie it in?
Second question- does anyone spray water or sugar water to keep bees calm or is that just for swarms ?
