I thought I lost the capped queen cells from my recent removal, but I found 3 of them in the new hive today. In the chaos and mess I forgot I had wired them on a frame. I hope this is a live one! Those bees are sweethearts...really gentle and lots of honey.

This cell is in the wire swarm frame that I bought from WVBeekeeper. I can't say enough good things about his swarm frames. They really saved my ***** on that removal job! :)

And I thought they were supposed to save the comb from the cut-out, silly me.:)

Hee! And that they did.

I have no idea how anyone uses rubberbands on frames when your gloves are sticky with honey. Now that's a skill.

I have no idea how anyone uses gloves to do a cut out. :D

Congrats...Now you have a successful cut out under your belt. Feels good, doesn't it?

I usually dont use gloves when doing a cutout. makes it a lot easier to band in the comb. Hope you have good luck getting the hive going. Remember a weak hive is usually gentle it is when they build up that they can get an attitude

It feels fabulous! Its a rush. I can't wait for my next one .

But I think it will be a year before I start working the feral bees with bare hands. That's like having a black belt in Karate.
