This is what is happening. I found a swarm in my tree. We cut it out and put it in a hive. I don't have any honey frames, so I cut open some honey and put it in the new hive box. I put the box in some shade about 30 feet from the tree.
I was going to seal off the box once most of the bees went back in. Right now I have a whole bunch a bees in the box (with the queen I think). I also have a lot of bees flying around the branch that I removed.
Should I cap the box or wait until night and cap the box? Any suggestions?
Sorry if this question has been done to death
