Wow. This is the coolest!!! I would love to put out a few hives and just have bees appear 😂😂😂 If you build it, they will come! Hopefully!

Bees are AFRICANIZED. Hybridized bees are made from a European and African mating. Neither of which of these two are aggressive on their own. Yet very defensive when hybridized. If it takes 2 to tango then why not call them EUROPEANIZED bees? Or just hybridized? So saying the bees are AFRICANIZED is factually incorrect and a racist term. Just letting you know😊

I assume you have to wait til dark before you get them all inside.

This exact thing happened to me on july 4, 2024. It happened just like in the video! It was incredible! Then on july 16, 2024 watched another trap catch one, start to finish. Very cool!

When she stung you, because she removed her stinger, did that not hurt at all? Or a little? That was interesting to watch

Great video! What's the weight of the trap before and after?
@HiddenSpringApiaries6 ай бұрын
Good question, I'm not sure. My guess is the swarm weighed 10lb or so

Trying to trap for the first time. Set out two traps in mid-March. Today (April 15th) I saw 5-6 bees checking out the trap, going inside and moving about the box. Hope they are the “scouts!” Great vid. Thanks guys!
@HiddenSpringApiaries7 ай бұрын
Most swarms scout 2 days and move on the 3rd - maybe soon!
@kdzetmeir7 ай бұрын
@@HiddenSpringApiaries I think you’re right! I just went out, many bees going in and out, so I lifted the lid a lid and the frames are COVERED in bees! Last night we had thunderstorms all night so I guess I missed how they “beard up” on the outside of the trap. Do some swarms just move right in quickly?? YT won’t let me paste a pic..

How do you prevent or control cross-comb with no foundation? BTW, great video !
@HiddenSpringApiaries9 ай бұрын
As long as they have one comb to copy off of, they almost always build perfect comb. Other than that, keeping the hive level.

These northern breeder need to stop lying with the nucs. An over wintered nuc has a late season queen making her in her prime come spring. Splitting your winter hives does not make a winter nuc!
@HiddenSpringApiaries9 ай бұрын
Most of them make the origin of the bees clear in their advertisements. So long as you're truthful about what you're selling, sell whatever kind of nuc you want
