Hi All
I have ordered a BeeVac, with an extra container as the hive I am about to cut-out has a serious hum going on inside. As I plan on being there until dark, my question is what time of day should I start ripping/snorting/and tearing down the inside wall? My thought was to start on a sunny day shortly after 12PM as most of the foragers would be out in the field, and I would be dealing with less bees.
Is this the ideal thinking or should I hit them while they are sleeping with a surprise attack at dawn? As I see it I will likely have to be there at dark anyway vacuming up the last foragers.
Your input is most appreciated.
Cheers,
Greathorned.
