When you shake then in to Box I usually have the frames and old comb in there for them. They then orient to the box and you take them home. Of course IF you have the queen. The shake does not hurt them and if you leave a branch in there they will start to build comb and that would be a total mess. Good question. Here is our one from today. Luke did his first swarm shake. The bees were really gentle. First one is a video. Fishing and honeybee time

That being said, that is pretty cool video to see. Derek New Day Outdoors Productions - It's a New Day in the Outdoors Magnus Broadheads Take a child hunting. Wear a safety harness at all times ...

People freaked out when I cupped the swarm in my hands and scooped them in the hive body. Actually, a swarm is very very gentle. I have caught 6 this year so far and stung how many times - 0.

Some weird phobia thing that I have I guess. Bees, wasps, hornets ... and spiders ... all freak me out. Drop me in a hot bed of snakes, mice, rats and it won't bother me one bit. But I hear the buzz of a bee and I turn into a 4 year old girl ... LOL. Derek New Day Outdoors Productions - It's a New Day in the Outdoors Magnus Broadheads Take a child hunting.
