TBH Bee Keepers

[IkemanTX]

The bees showed up on my parent’s place last week.
This pic is the main line of pallets.i think it is anround 65 pallets. Almost all the pallets are 4 hives. There’s about 20 more pallets in this field, and several hundred 5-frame nucs in another. They had just been dropped off the day before, and were a little hot from being shipped in, so I decided to not get any closer for pictures. I’ll try to get a better picture in the next week or so. The guy has a contract with HEB. My parents don’t charge him, but he definitely spoils them with honey. This is the third year they have used the place.

So, I failed last year miserably.
Put my trap out a week ago, now have a swarm in my trap.
Question is, how long to wait before relocating them to my hive?
I waited too long last year, and it was a total cluster.
Dont want to mess this chance up.

Not seen that or heard of a hive killing their queen.
My best guess is that you damaged the queen in the clip.

I have had it happen twice. Did not hurt the Queen. Beekeeping has become very frustrating. I have caught several swarms this year and they all have absconded.

I have not read through this thread, but I need somebody to come remove bees 7 miles north west of Eden. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Bought a couple of nucs and this morning I moved them into a deep box. Fire ants were building a nest on top of the cinder block that I had the nuc box setting on. What do y’all use to control fire ants?
