My wife asked me if I was going to move the hive of bees that is next to my barn door.
I went out and checked on a stack of empty Supers that I had added a super of frames, a top entrance and a lid to make a possible swarm trap out of.
The bees were really checking it out. I worked out side waiting to see if they were ready to move in. I could tell they really love liked it due to the way they were acting.
It took about a half our for them to swarm over the top of the trees and another 10 minutes to figure out where the new hive was. Then it took another 15 to 20 minutes for them to all land and another 20 to 30 minutes to file into the new hive.
It was a lot of fun watching them.
Notice I put a bottle of lemon grass oil on top of the hive. I did that to coax them into this hive instead of another trap that also had a lot of activity. Turns out the other trap already had a swarm move into it today also.
Enjoy.
