New Bee
Hi All
After some advice, after an unsuccesful attempt to move a swarm yesterday, the thunder and lighting (plus hail stones) did not probably help.
I have a swarm taken up residence underneath one of my existing hives, on the OMF. Unfortunately they are not the easiest to get to, due to the Cushman home made stand.
What is the best way to rehome them?
I have a spare brood box and floor, so was going to attempt to put this on its own stand and then put exisiting hive on top and drop them all straight in to this brood box. Is there a better way, just want to rehome them or get them to find a better home other than under neath one of the hives.
Have tried to move them before last week, but after settling in a box they then just moved back to underneath the hive.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
