Into this operation for a full 3 weeks now. These little critters are something else!! This is in a wood frame garage and they have been there for well over 20 years. Put a screen funnel over the main hole, they moved to another entrance, put an escape on it, then to another, screened that one, now to another. The last two entrances are below and along side of a window and below the upper entrances. This garage is vinal sided, so I stapled screen to the window frame and duck taped to the siding, screen ends are about 18" beyond the entrances with the ends open. They are getting out and can't figure out the in, a good thing. Yesterday there were thousands on the outside trying to get in. The NUC I have up is active, I need to see if there is a queen yet. O yesterday they were not happy campers!
Question; would it help to speed things up if I vacuumed what I can, Transport about 6 miles and release at my home yard with 5 hives :scratch: Or, just a dumb idea:s Or, prep and put up a second NUC?
