So I suited up about two weeks ago after dark and took off that lid covered with bees, and had to brush them carefully into the box. I guess the swarm just never settled in after I dumped them in from the bucket I got them in, and stayed on the outside of the lid, as well as some on the underside. I got them all back in and removed the empty box on top. Whew! I was sweating. That was the hardest thing I’ve had to do so far with bees!
But in the last few days watching them, there are not many going in and out. Then yesterday and today, lots of frenzied activity – is it robbing?
