My brother (not a bee person) has a feral colony in his cottonwood tree. Put a trap up two days ago today he sent me this picture. I think i should've used a bigger trap.
My question is if they just showed up today, do I need to go get them tonight? The next possible time for me to pick them up will be monday. It would be after dark, but I can reach it without a ladder.
I thought the trap would hang there for a few more weeks.
Will they beard like that and leave? Is the queen most likely in the box?
Thanks from a new guy who's stumbling through his first go at this.
