Due to a bee attack last week, I had to help the fire department kill a testy feral hive. We foamed it.

So lets assume its a established healthy hive of 60,000.  What percent of foragers were out away from the hive when it was killed?

Here is my new book on Swarm Trapping at http://learningbeekeeping.com/beekeeping-articles/how-to-swarm-trap/ and follow me on youtube at OutOfaBlueSky
