Trap out installed.

[BeeMaster2]

Just completed setting up a trap out.
A swarm moved into an old oak tree about 12? up.
Apparently it took them a long time to find this tree. The owner was stung a couple of times and the next store neighbor?s dog was stung a few times.
I was expecting them to be very aggressive. Hence the suit in the first picture.

Very cool what was the time frame on the trap out,

Did they not have brood yet?  Otherwise it is next to impossible to get the queen and nurse bees out.

I expect this to take about 3 to 4 weeks. They have been there about 10 days so it may be less. I put a frame of brood with lots of eggs and very young larvae in it and shook another frame of bees off of another frame of brood.
I wish I could get this queen but the bees are probably already making a new queen in the Nuc. When the hive runs out of food, the queen and the last of the bees will probably just abscond the hive. Then I will seal it up.
