House Bee
Hi all
Managed to put my first swarm in a nuc box last night and learnt from the experience never to use a nuc box with an OMF as all the bees that you don't get in the box gather on it.
The question I want to ask is if the nuc box isn't 3 miles from the original site of the swarm are the bees likely to go back to the swarm site when they fly this morning. Just had a phone call to tell me that there are still a small number of bees at the original site.
