    I would have removed a couple of frames before inserting the swarm to insure the most of the bees would have been installed.

      Yes. I am still learning this lesson. Lol

    That is a pretty good size swarm. I have a colony under one of my hives this year too. I'm waiting on the fall flow to get started to remove them.

    Ok, now I am really impressed 😊 to do all that in shorts and flip flops 😂
    Now hopefully it survives over winter 😊😊

    Doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to stay 😂. Still feeling your pain

    One thing to consider once you pull your honey supers is pull 2-3 frames from each of your strong hives for splits in 5 frame nucs. What I do in my single deeps, seems to help the over crowding. Sell the nucs if you don't need the extra or just over winter them. Just a thought.

      Thanks for the tip! Yes, I plan to split the singles next spring and sell the nucs. Cheers!

    That went smooth! I caught a small swarm maybe a little over 1 frame worth of bees but it had a laying queen in it that wasn't one of ours. I took some resources from another hive to boost them up and they seem to be doing fine so far. Our swarm was drawing out new comb though so you should be fine. If you can get them to build up and into a double 5 frame deep that'll be the same as your 10 frame singles. I'm looking forward to the video of removing the hive under the gray hive.

    How many colonies are you up to? I'm at 13 with 6 nucs
