I have had it set a 9 day now yesterday I opened it and saw lots of good things (see my other post) It looked so good  and I saw no activity in the cone or other blocked whole I ripped the top whole open thinking they would
Be able to rob it out to Help the new Home
I just walked over and there is all kinds of Bees around New Hive box so I climb up and look in the hole in the Picture and I see a 1000 bees calmly crawling around so Many that I couldn't see if some were on comb or just tree
The picture is of the part I opened Do you think I should close it or wait and see if those are my bees in there taking there old Furniture and food  
I wanted to try and get 2 hives from the tree but I think  they swarmed before the trapout and the rest I all ready got but this sight confused me
Hope they don't move back ?
The trapout Cone is Below this Opening maybe 10 inchs
Thanks

9 days is not long enough for the trap out to run it's full course. It takes 21 days for worker brood to emerge after the egg is laid. What you're seeing is most likely newly emerged worker brood-I.E. nurse bees. Close it back up if you want to trap them as well.

Here in FL you may not get the chance to have your trapped bees rob out the tree before the SHB invade and the remnants of the tree colony abscond, but there is always a chance. I leave the cone on for at least 4 weeks and when done seal the opening and feed the trap.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I'm making another Post because when I spell check or something I can no Longer see what I'm typing
Is this my PC or is there a way to stop it, the Screen Jumps and I may see the fist line or two ,anyway
I think I'll Place a CD case with some SHB kill in in that hole than close it up
Also what would happen If I put Just Comb and a Queen Caged or Just a Queen cell in the New Trap out
I'm calling it New meaning If I remove what I have all ready which seems to be A lot

Thanks
Tommyt
Heres a Look I have two frames removed see the other pic and these where ?? just walking the frames had no comb Built yet but bees were Chained
maybe I'm rushing this again ??
