agressive bees update

outcome for bad bees
Just to let you know the outcome for my bad bees! I sealed up and moved the hive quite away away from original site and put a nuc box in it's place with foundation. Left original hive for a few hours then dressed for battle and went to inspect, it was so much easier with so many less bees to look through. For once I found the queen and dipatched her angriness. Even though she was an evil tempered so and so it still seemed strange to squash her. The rest of the bees at least as many as I could I'm uniting with another hive over paper, never done this so fingers crossed. It was refreshing to go and look at my hives this morning without being attacked, thankyou all for suggestions and help

Well done.

Well done, I hope it pays off. What are you doing with the nuc full of angry flying bees, uniting with another hive as well?

When you unite, you get another angry hive.

Give to it a laying Queen.

The aggressive flying bees will only last around 3 weeks after a unite.

Not that way.
After 3 weeks half of bees are alive.

IT is same if you by a new Queen to them. You do not need to handle bad gang after that.

But that another hive? Can you handle them any more. Where are the brood?

 

[Anduril]

The unite with the brood will be aggressive for bit longer.

The hive will be angry up to all autumn.
