We started this trap out while I was down on break from SD. Peggy and Ian finished it up and it was a great success! I think we'll start using more queenless nucs for the capture hive.

Great video. Was a video make when Peggy and Ian took it down?

No video of the finish as I had the camera up in SD. The queen really ramped up with our late flow(s) and is now in two deeps!

I enjoyed the video & you are the man for doing these trap outs way up there in the trees but...

Please be careful! I really don't like seeing that ladder move that much while you're on it. Secure it to the tree my friend. We certainly don't want anything happening to you.

You make it look easy! I can't believe that you went that far to do this trapout. Larry

Nice video...I was wondering about when you secure the mesh cone could you use a staple gun instead of screws? And I agree with JP on the ladder it was making me nervous to see it wiggling around like that :)
