Hello all,
I have recently caught a swarm and they are temporarily housed in a swarm trap with five frames of pulled comb. I have a new hive body coming Tuesday which will be their permanent home. I have the swarm trap currently sitting atop a barrel in the bee yard but really don't like the exact location and would like to move it about 10 yard from its current location. What is the best way to do that? The bee's have already started coming and going for the trap as if it's now home. Will I lose any bees if I move the trap after dark? Thanks for any suggestions! I wasn't as prepared for this swarm as I would have liked.
