Yes they are quick aren’t they?The colony was back, clustered on the stand wondering where the hive had gone before the shakeout party got back to the apiary!!
My stands are immobile so I spray them with air freshener which helps.
Eric’s tip about shaking them onto a board propped up in front of another hive seems to work too. You can split the bees between a few hives that way.
