Have to mow grass when its dark around the building – we go into the building but are a little leary of agitating them. In other words, it has become one giant beehive building!

So on day three I couldn’t wait any longer. Using my bee brush and a cardboard box, I swept the bees off the tree and into the box. Well mostly into the box. Then poured from box into hive. After getting most of them into the hive I waited and saw that they started fanning. After about an hour and a half they were all in the hive. I placed it on the stand and now two days later they are settled in and collecting pollen.

Any suggestion on how to get them to move into the trap or any way to get them “into the bucket” since I can not shake the box where they are attached? If there are still there later today I plan to “scrape” them off the box and into a bucket. Fingers crossed I don’t crush the queen!
