Hi i am a new beek, got a call yesterday from a friend who is also a new beekeeper that her bees where swarming. went round to her house and they were all over the hive and milling around then i spotted the queen on a post, caught her and put her in another hive close by with the QE on the bottom to keep her in , scooped up loads of beed an put them in the hive also.
Question: Was this the right thing todo and if so how long to leave the QE on the bottom.
Many thanks
