Title: Makeshift nuc...ghetto swarm
Post by: AndersMNelson on May 09, 2007, 04:39:55 PM
Hey.  I found a swarm in my backyard and installed in this makeshift hive made of a super, a couple pieces of wood, and a SSB.  I ordered a hive from Rossman, but it's gonna take up to 5 days or something to get here.  Any suggestions? What a first day back from school!(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8146/dsc1291fo7.th.jpg) (http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc1291fo7.jpg)

Are there frames in there? They will probably be fine for 5 days.

Yup, it's full of frames.  I'm glad to hear that, ttthhhanks.

Looks good.  I'd put more than a couple bricks on top of that one if wind is expected.
