House Bee
Set up 2 hives and 3 nukes over a month ago.
Frames with wax foundation, swarm attractant, rubbed on bees wax and propolis inside.
Nothing for 5/6 weeks apart from the odd scout a few weeks ago
Then today.....ALL entrances being used as if swarms have moved in!! In one day!!
But
No actual swarms spotted, just loads of activity. Also no pollen going in (as is happening on a nest in the wall of the house!)
How many scouts do they send out before moving day?
They have certainly left scouts over night, but I am pretty sure no swarm arrived at any of the boxes (not had much else to do than watch all day!)
