Most recent addition to my newly developed apiary,here's a pic of what happened after i made a transfer to a new hive,tied the brood combs in the frames but seems her highness didn't really like the scent of this new home

did they leave?
Well not really,What happened is they hung out all day til evening i got impatient an tried smoking them in :oops: but ended up almost losing them- they swarmed in a neighboring tree which i had to climb an clip the limb then returned an shaked them in the hive-Today makes 2days since that happened and they're still there.
Next week i'll check in on them to see how well the repairs are coming along with the tied combs and all. :-\
