swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Hayward, bees in garage, 10’ up

[Sung Lee (sungleethebeecharmer]

By assessing the situation which why bees are moving on i thought 1. They may not like where they moved in. Even though they went through a gap but it was not enclosed still exposed.

2. Possibly No Queen?

So I decided to place a bait hive size of deep box with a couple of old frames, one drawn comb frame, few foundation less frames and a frame of honey that crystallized that uncapped. Typical Phil Stob's formula. 

And hint of swarm commander.

Now bees are moving in.

I will check tonight.
