Just wanted to update this, took the combs out of the wall today, the cone never did get many of the bees out, just too many holes in the old barn boards. The extraction went really well, since there was no brood, we just shook the bees off in front of the other hive, saved all the capped honey and laid the rest out for the hive to rob, then gave them 2 shallows of honey for the winter. Only 3 stings with no gloves, wish I could have found the queen, they had built about 2 deeps worth of comb since Aug. when they moved in.
