How To Catch & Re-home A Swarm Of Bees on September First, starting them with BetterComb.

September First arrived and my Saskatraz colony made the decision to swarm out and land on a nearby Blue Spruce Tree.
In this video, I walk you through a swarm and how I figure out which hive it came from.
Using a net to collect them and installing with better-comb, they should have a very good chance at surviving winter.
Thank you for watching!
My Favorite Swarm Collection Net (only one left):

Slatted Racks Make it Easy to Hive Swarms by providing that extra space below, they are also nice when doing Oxalic Acid treatments by providing a space between the bottom board and frames (tell them Frederick Dunn sent you) :

If you need to feed your bees for their survival, I highly recommend Rapid Round (syrup or dry) feeders in your top feeder shim:

In 2019, I started five swarm-capture colonies in mid-September, I assumed they were all doomed, but hived them anyway. I am convinced that the pre-drawn BetterComb provided them with the boost they needed for immediate resource storage and brood production. ***Lesson learned - Use Wired Support Frames Only*** If I'm hiving a swarm, or installing a spring package, my hives with BetterComb outperformed the rest. Follow this link to learn more and if you buy, tell them Frederick Dunn sent you... will you receive a discount? Nope... but it's nice to say where you learned about it :)
Foundation alone: www.betterbee....
I recently purchased (I paid full price, no freebies) the BetterComb wiring kit. If you think you are going to use a lot of these, then get the kit and you'll save $$$ plus you can wire your own frames for any kind of wax foundation install.
