BEEHIVE TRAP-OUT:​ How to remove bees from a tree

[@Henryfreiburg]

Quality video for both content and editing! I do something similar, but I direct the cone directly into the hive box, which then has an exit for regular entry/exit. (Structurally, I do this with a mini-box with the cone, mounted next to the full-size box, with a 1" passage connecting the two.) This is easier on a wall, more difficult in a tree...

[@ohisnuccadoc]

I was just asked to remove bees from a tree last night and didn't know what to do. An old retired beekeeper shared with me what he would do. After watching several videos, I found this one which is 1) very well put together and 2) exactly what he told me to do. I'm a visual learning, so having the video and explanation really will help. I'll let you know how it goes. Question: do you expect the bees to create a new queen from eggs you placed in the hive or do you expect the queen to exit the tree and find her way into the new hive or something else? Thanks again!

[@HinterlandBees]

Ohios Nuccadoc you would expect the colony to make a new queen from the eggs. Here us some more info: hinterlandbees.com/the-art-of-the-trapout

[@ohisnuccadoc]

@@HinterlandBees this worked out very well. In fact, I extracted one tree hive in about 2 weeks (it was only there for a week or so before I got to it) and used my own queen. Another hive in a tree that was established for 4-6 weeks took only a few weeks to remove and I even found the queen had taken up residence in my box as well. I appreciate your help with this. Your video is excellent and really did me some good.

[@bourenanemourad1052]

Good way. Thank you. Is it possible for the queen to come out, leave her old frames and the brood, and go out to the new box

[@happytosee1]

Does the queen also move into the box?

[@luanosales]

Excelente técnica, Parabéns pelo trabalho! Grande abraço do Brasil!

[@flutetubamorg]

I wonder if you can combine this method with the forced abscond method where you drill a hole at the base of the hive somewhere and smoke them from below. This way gets them out quicker and might actually get the queen to come out as well.

[@keithtq]

Can you tell us what the materials were used to put the screens together that are shown at the beginning of the video? Thankyou in advance!

[@muratgokirmak6132]

Wow you are real expert... queen trap inside or she is decided join new hive ?

[@MINDPOWERDEVELOPMENT]

why there is a queen in the box, when the tree should already have a queen? thank you for insights

[@HinterlandBees]

You rarely capture the queen from inside the tree. Because a trap out can take several weeks, the trapped out bees need a queen asap, long before the tree queen leaves the nest. You can read more here: www.hinterlandbees.com/articles/the-art-of-the-trap-out

[@oldmate99]

What is the quickest way to just kill them all? This seems like too much stuffing around.

[@oscarbanuelos7041]

Many thanks for helping on this same problem. Regards from Mexico......

[@burrowsforge]

Does the queen come along with this method?

[@jdawg8157]

How do you make the cone? Incredible video thank you.

[@HinterlandBees]

I use an aluminium mesh. The holes need to be small enough that the bees can’t get through

[@daryltoonk2729]

Does the queen also relocate?

[@wmdjohnson]

Very nice. I have a trunk removal to do this weekend.

[@HinterlandBees]

I hope it helps. Good luck

[@0hleg]

What happens with the queen when you do this?

[@HinterlandBees]

While every trapout is different, she most likely will leave in a small swarm when nectar and pollen in the hive is exhausted. Occasionally she will find her way into the trap out box but there is no guarantee.

[@0hleg]

@@HinterlandBees so I’ll have to prob buy a queen and place it with then?

[@HinterlandBees]

@@0hleg yes, or add a frame with eggs so that can make a new queen. Here’s a link to an article on how I do it: www.hinterlandbees.com/articles/the-art-of-the-trap-out

[@BluebirdR]

Well executed, lucky to use your nimble fingers. Our lovely defensive Bees will noooot have it. Not in favor of poly. yet curious as to the lighter box -model type you have used? [going to be relocating two nested swarms in Trees that need to be felled in a Plantation situ. I am an entomologist so first time asked to assist a forester friend] greetings from SA

[@nahavandi89]

Thanks for saving the bees 😍 and sorry my english is not too good, what are the names of the tools that you used in this video?

[@xx24nuggetsxx48]

Does the queen come out of the hive as well?

[@HinterlandBees]

The queen won’t exit until the end and rarely ends up in the catch box. This method doesn’t catch the queen which is why I add one at the beginning of the process. The catch the queen you can attempt a forced abscond or do an eduction (Price Method).

[@xx24nuggetsxx48]

@@HinterlandBees yeah righto I didn’t think she’d just happily walk out.

[@decatleta]

What did happened with The Queen Bee?

[@HinterlandBees]

Carlos Chinin the queen will eventually leave in a swarm with the last of the bees

[@georgeguthrie2962]

Where can you purchase a trap out funnel?

[@jimmy8573]

Just make one mate, use fly screen mesh that you can get here in Australia or some sort of metal mesh so the bees can't chew through it and do as this guy did

[@jamesmichaelfreer]

I did this, and in addition I put a queen in a queen cage in the new hive box., plus a couple of drops of lemon oil in the new box. It worked great! The tree was later removed . Took the bees to an Avocado ranch , about twenty miles away, then they all took off a couple days later 😠!!!

[@filzweiber]

can you tell me how small is the funnel exit so the bees cant get back in please?

[@HinterlandBees]

filzweiber the funnel exit needs to be big enough for at least 2 bees. Bees need to be able to remove dead bees from the nest and if the hole in the funnel is too small it will create a blockage. Provided the funnel is made from a mesh that the bees can see and smell through, they will always try to re-enter the nest at the base of the funnel, not through the hole at the tip.

[@goneridingparts]

how do you NOT get stung ? I thought they would be mad when you start in there especially with tools. ?? I have a similar nest and if you get near it, they seem to swarm you.

[@HinterlandBees]

Each colony has a different temperament and some are more defensive than others. From experience I have a good idea of how defensive a colony will be and how much protection is required. Always having a bee smoker handy is also essential!

[@pcelarskaradionicaopgninko6296]

Can you explane how do you remove queen from the tree? Thanks in advance

[@kennethblanco1241]

Did the queen bee go in the trap house??

[@HinterlandBees]

No, the queen will only leave at the end of the process with a small swarm and is unlikely to end up in the trap box

[@kathycogburn5884]

How do you find someone in your area to remove the bees from tree like this?? I have a honey bee probllem.

[@jessicaleuschner2021]

Just google beekeeper. Call the person and maybe he can help you

[@jimmy8573]

Where are you located?

[@camarorules1]

What happens to the bees??

[@nobertl]

Thanks for education and sher idea sukses for u

[@marykilgore2978]

What a great idea!!

[@jeffreygleaves2931]

So this just traps the foragers and not the queen and nurse bees? Unless you just want the bees out of the tree I don't really see the point.

[@HinterlandBees]

Over the course of 3 to 5 weeks this process will remove all of the bees from the tree. This particular nest was in the middle of a school playground, necessitating its removal. In Australia, feral colonies occupy cavities which would otherwise be homes to native creatures which maybe another reason to relocate bees into a managed hive.

[@dandorosheff256]

Do you think the queen eventually finds her way to the trap box?

[@engprossyansingwize131]

Are those bees stingless bees??, why are they not attacking or stinging you please?

[@HinterlandBees]

Just regular European bees with gentle characteristics 😁

[@imaginemarsh3523]

Very clever

[@vanlalremavanlalrema6834]

I wanna see again trap out bee

[@angobansoar8174]

But the Queen dies, and all the grubs die. !!!!! I am not being a pain here, i am asking.. Because a friend of mine, has this exact problem. I think he is soo lucky, to have wild bees year after year. But he has apartment to rent, and kid got stung :-( To move his bees, do the Queen have to die. ????

[@HinterlandBees]

If the bees nest is in an apartment, the option is a cut-out removal (I show that in our other videos). When the nest is removed by cut-out, the queen, brood and bees are saved 😁

[@angobansoar8174]

@@HinterlandBees Sorry i worded my original comment very poorly. His problem is, he has an old Ash tree with a big hole in it. And the hive is in that hole. But his problem is, the tree is right alongside the door of the apartment. Is it possible to relocate queen and all her troop out of this tree.Thanks for the reply.

[@HinterlandBees]

Oh I see. All of the brood will hatch an the queen will eventually leave. I wrote an article about it here: hinterlandbees.com/articles#/the-art-of-the-trapout
