i mentioned in august i was going to try a cut out at a friends cottage.
I decided to try in feb when colony and stores were smaller so had a go today.
Couldnt find the queen as awkward to get to, so handled as i would a swarm with as many bees from main combs as i could into nuc with QEX setting at front and have left to go back later to see if clustered back in original nest site, or nuc etc
broadly correct?
