GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: Swarm Catching
« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 02:18:15 pm »My swarm trap is teeming with activity here this afternoon. Hopefully, this is move-in day. It's pretty warm out, I'd guess high 70s with a light breeze. Bees seem to be coming in waves of 12 or so and going in, some come back out but it looks like a lot are staying inside. Maybe it's wishful thinking. Either way, activity is pretty much non-stop right now and I set up my GoPro to document it just in case.

Do you have any of the flat brass canning jar lids to do a test on? It would bee great if I could engrave them.

« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 07:15:18 am »It looks like it was about 86 yesterday, about 75 when I took that picture and down to about 62 last night. That group was mostly gone with a few stragglers still out by 0500 when I got up this morningI went out for a peek and didn't see any ants but the front door is blocked with bees.Interesting. What are your temps like? I am just wondering if they are hot or cold. Or maybe they are blocking an intruder.

Will need to play with the design a bit but the result was much better on the inside of the lid. A simple jig to hold lids in place would only take a few minutes to make. A dozen lids could be quickly dropped into position and the engraver could do its thing. It would take about 21 minutes to make a dozen lids using the simple design attached.
