Underground Honeybee Hive - Trap-Out Removal

Removal of an African Honeybee Colony from an underground hive using the trap-out method.
#beekeeping101 #honeybee #beeremoval #bees
This was a challenging removal. To do a successful trap-out you need to ensure you close all access to the hive for returning bees and locate the box preferably for them to be tricked into believing the hive now exists in the box. Our struggle with an underground hive is locating all the holes the bees could use and so we did have to visit and rework this site on two occasions.
We believe the trap-out was a success based on how heavy the box was when we moved it to the apiary. We still need to open it and have a look inside, so be sure to subscribe to catch that episode.
In the meantime, if you would like to know how to build a trap-out box then be sure to check out this episode: • How to Make a Honey Be...
