Did my first bee tree cut out yesterday all went fine with getting to the comb and cutting out all the comb and placing the brood in my single deep brood chamber, and then afterwards I sat my brood box on top of the stump waiting for the bees to move up into the brood box with the brood and rest of the bees. Well long story short I went back last night during the evening I went back to check out things and collect the box. I had noticed some nurse bees in with the brood in the box but all the other bees were no where to be found other than a small cluster of bees maybe 15-20 bees, what looked like to be bee's leftover from them swarming from the trunk of the tree!!! Are you kidding me!!!! What looks like they just completely picked up shop and left everything!!! Is this normal? Has anyone ever else had this happen??.
