- 1 colony from last year and 1 swarm I caught in May
Hello All
On Sunday I am going to have a look at a wild colony in a friend of a friends outhouse. They are wanting to use the building and need to remove a wild colony of honey bees. They have been there for at least a year. Apparently they have made a lot of comb and it is hanging from the ceiling.
I have only ever collected a very easy catch swarm that was hanging from a drain pipe on my next door neighbors house. How should I handle this? I do have a spare hive and frames.
Any advice gratefully received!
Thank you in advance
