On trap outs there is a minimum of 6 round trips to the site.................
1. just to look and see what is involved and if you even what to do the job
2. set up the trap out and spend a couple...

Good link for different color photos of the queen and some of their traits.

ooohhh that sure does sound a little off label to me, needs his applicators license pulled.

Looks like the home owner has bigger problems than the bees!! Squirrels or coons chewing his house down.

exactly what I am planning on building out of fire sprinkler piping, just did not get around to it last year.

I wonder where in E TN this was at?

Yep the guy on the right got one in the elbow and just pulled out the stinger.

Like Beyond said, once you break open the brood nest they seem to loose a lot...

Like you said, the only way to keep them out is to seal all holes.

You could try filling the void with insulation and be sure to use silicon caulk.

some wash out the area with a little bleach...

I like it too, good advertising, until they want you to get your bees out of their wall for free.

Just me but I would have put the swarm into the 10 frame box, they are ready to start a new hive and can build comb overnight.

If they are that crowded for room they could abscond on you.

As...

you fellas are over thinking this way too much, I just use a five gallon bucket and duct tape it to a piece of pipe. Works great for me.

The bees do not carry honey out of the hive to put it into another hive just because it is store bought, they are happy just where they are.

A trap out uses a cone made of hardware cloth shaped...

one sheet (4 x 8) will make dour nucs if you are using d. coates design.

OD sounds like you found a good fishing hole.

Good points for trapping swarms!!

Also put out traps around where you might have done a cut out, there has to be bees in the area also.

well put dave.

If you are still wanting to make the miter joint stronger you could install a spline in it.

I will have to agree with the paint being the most important part of a well made box. This will keep the end grain dry, glue joint dry and protected from UV rays, keep the outside of the wood dry to...

here ya go, I have made several of these and they work awful well.

Why not just make five frame nucs out of 1/2" plywood, can get four of them out of a 4 x 8 sheet. They will take deep frames and then you can easily transfer them into a regular hive set up. Give...

Sounds like you need less suction, only enough is needed to barely pull them off of the comb and into the hose. If you are just ripping them off of the comb then that is waaay too much suction. Have...
