One of my hives swarmed while I was working on the hive next to it last week. Didn't have time to get a picture they poured out so fast. They clustered nearby so I managed to get them   About half the bees ended up in the box and half on my arm and on the grass. But the queen must have gone in the box as they all ran inside.  cheers john |

Did you get the queen, just they'll run inside without the queen. |

Picked up a hive in a bird box this evening. They were happy to let us take the whole box so we've taken it home for now and will take it out to our farm next week so we can do a cut out at our leisure.  More photos to come. |

If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs, you probably don't fully understand the situation!

Very good. Looking forward to seeing pictures on how go get on transferring the combs.
Someone asked me to remove a possum box with a colony of bees in it. But they have not called back to arrange a time.
May be its getting a bit late in the season (Victoria) for colony removal?
cheers
john

Yeh, possibly a bit late, still got plenty of dandelions in flower here though. Going to have a crack at this one on Saturday if the weather is ok.

If you do remove the possum box now, I'd suggest moving the box to your sight and overwintering. Transfer it to a proper box once the swarms start. I think if you transfer them now the set back would be too great.

I did a hollow tree nest transfer on Sunday, couldn't see a queen, tree had fallen to ground and smashed nest up a bit, transferred all comb to frames. Have another small one to do tomorrow, hope to get queen and mix with the other one.
