Hello,
I caught the swarm from one of my hives and put them in a ten frame medium with undrawn wax comb. They stayed there for four days and swarmed again. I have caught them again (2days ago) and put them back in box and added sugar water with Honey Bee Healthy. When I looked in the box yesterday they were all balled up on the inner cover. They have not done anything as far as building up frame or bringing in any stores. I have no drawn comb to put in the box, but I do have some brood frames I could pull from other hives. This is my second year of bee keeping and my first caught swarm. It will be cold and rainy for the next two days here and it will be then before I can do anything with them. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
