Great video. Were you able to get the queen to come out and join the bees
in the box?

Quick question, do you add a comb of brood/fresh eggs to make their queen
or do you like to just buy a queen?

There was an old church that the honey use to drip down from the steeple
during warm weather here in town. When it was repaired there was many 5
gallon pails of comb and old honey removed no one tried to use it had
turned black and was very strong flavored

Ain’t been fishing in Texas since July and now since the drought has kicked
into high gear there won’t be much left of the lakes. I’ll be heading north
to Michigan this fall and I hope to fish a little while I’m there..

What is the deal with the bees? I want to watch you fish and tie flies. I
don’t even like bees. I am alergic and they can kill me! So lets go fishin
and leave the bees alone. All the best, Sean

Well that was the plan but it didn’t work out the way I intended. The bees
didn’t figure out how to navigate through the tube and into the hive.
Before I could find the correct trap-out setup the bees died in the tube
and the tree.

That’s a great idea

Are the bees you are trapping true wild bees or are they hives that have
escaped. When I was a kid my uncle use to hunt wild bees. He had a bee box
and would some time spend a few days locating a hive. I hate to admit this
but 45 years ago I have helped gather wild honey.

Thanks for the video, will the queen follow the other bees eventually?

I have no way of knowing if these are truly wild bees or if they have
swarmed from a existing beekeepers hives. Either way these are free bees
and if I need to re-queen them at some point to produce a different
temperament that is affordable too!
