I put them into my topbar Warre hive. They were great and they disappeared! It seems like they went right back into the swarm box. I left them in the box for about 3 weeks. When I checked, they had 3 large drawn combs. eggs, nectar, and pollen. I gently removed them to their new home and followed my mentor’s instructions on combining them with the other bees. I put the swarm box back up to catch the foragers that would be returning in the evening then put them in the hive too. It looks great!

Nice to see swarm activity from a different view. And catching a swarm with no suit! Pretty impressive to say the least. What do you do with that rogue guard bee(s) that keeps beaning you in the head? Just the smoker for calming them? Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t been brave enough to even think of catching a swarm. But this video makes it look so easy. Maybe next year, Tammy
