Last fall I went into winter with 4 strong hives. They all went deadout during winter, numbers droppred bigtime in November for some unknown reason.
I did not order bees because I did not think I would need any, now its too late.
My hives also threw swarms in fall which made numbers drop, My question is I have 1 swarm that went behind the electric meter into the wall of the house and a cut out is not an option. I have access to the garage to smoke them so,
Do you think its possible to put a empty nuc with drawn frames and put it at the entrance, then smoke em all thru the garage side into the nuc, then close them up for a couple of days, and also seal behind the meter so they cant go in there again? I also learned that the honeybees are attracted and sensitive to electric fields and the meter stays warm.
