good video, would have been a lot better if if you had showed the important parts. Didn’t need to see you driving down the road and all the other trivia. How about the actual cutout and transfer of bees to box. Making sure you got the queen etc and after having her in box letting the bees settle and capturing all the loose bees.

Getting the hive out of the wall isn’t so difficult. The promise of this video was to see how they were “re-homed.” Capturing the queen, saving the comb, brood, and honey so the hive doesn’t have to start from scratch can be challenging. I’ve done several successfully, but had hoped to see some better techniques ~~ but not here, apparently. Disappointed.

U said U felt sad to lose the worker bees that were left behind after bee sucking.Why don’t u carry a bee box along and put the bees in the box and keep the box around at head level till dusk and u get all the bees except those poor souls who could not reach home before dusk. So go for it in the evening with time to spare till dusk.

I have seen the bee trap.I feel that the bees rejected your trap for the paint and smell if any/. In India we had many hives with an opening so wide so that you just need to insert the arm and take out the combs.Crude -eh,

I was interested to see the ACTUAL CUTTING OUT and RE-HOMING part of the process. Why was there so much build up and no filming of the real nuts-n-bolts part of the operation?

Calling an pest management professional should not be off your list of calls. I my self am also a beekeeper. I know the irony. But a lot of pest companies have a list of local beekeepers on hand. We’re not all bad guys and are much more environmentally conscientious than years past. The industry has come along way.
