swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Having hard time to gather the bees in West Iakland

[kristin sherman olnes (kshermolnes]

My suggestion is to put them in a box with one frame of honey so they want to stay; and also, to use an entrance reducer to make the entrance very small. Treat for ants at the base of the new hive as well, due to the honey.

Hi, this is Rosalia, 

I collected the bees during the day but at night the bees went back to the spot close to the window on 10 th St. Today, in the morning, Came to place then in a beehive box and again they went back to the wall. I am having hard time to collect them. This is my first time I do it.. Any suggestion?
