This one was a bit tricky. The bees ended up in an interior wall (formerly the exterior before an addition was built) and it was so dark we had to work with red light.
We never laid eyes on the queen but, since this was more than an hour away, we vacuumed the bees anyway. I found her two days later in the hive we gave them.
Peggy was anxious to get home quick (this was 10 days after she broke 3 ribs) so we cut the video a little short.
Hope ya'll enjoy!

Added: JP, did you realize that youtube accepts up to 15min videos now? Kewl huh?
Great video. I liked it how you got the shot of the larger cells next to the smaller brood cells in the comb. Looked real good.
Another one well Done
I like the team work

That Peggy is a real trooper. You ain't bad your self Scott. I'm happy that you finely got some video's up and going I have enjoyed them all.
Have I died and gone to Heaven? Nice to see you, Scott and Peggy...you're both so calm and methodical. I'm gonna have to work at getting more relaxed around the bees. Maybe I'll begin repeating to myself, "Be like Peggy."

Scott, the whole time I'm watching I was wondering how you were able to get past that 9:59 mark. ;)
I was thinking you did some kind of upgrade or something.
Glad to hear of the fifteen minute change, I could use it now and again.
I liked this hive, beautiful combs, very user friendly, nice and wide and long, the best of the best for transfers.
Why am I watching this at 1:30 in the morning? After a long day of doing a cut out myself?
Must fall under that addiction thingy. :-D
