Dropped the Ball!
Please note, expanding foam was only used to close the void between roof/wall and wooden box housing the one way funnel...
Bottom line, holes were not sealed up well enough.... 2 days ago I saw a few bees frantically going at this small hole with a few of them managing to get in...
Their behavior to me was one of robbing,,, jerky movements, landing and running excitedly around etc etc... I figured what the hell, they were more than likely from one of my boxes so let them have it.... Late yesterday afternoon, get a call, swarm trying to get back in... By the time I have a pic sent to me, half in already, by the time my son gets there only a handful left outside... We had hoped the queen would have not managed to get in as fast as she did... Well, back to the drawing board.. Very luck swarm that is,,, big recourses inside that wall...
