Hi everyone,
I went to collect the swarm this afternoon did what Paul said . I put a box
over the swarm most of them walk in by themselves except quite a lot were
reluctent to depart from the warm dark ground. I scoped them up by hand and
closed the box leaving a small gap for the last few to fly into the box.
Unfortunately not all went in waited for nearly two and a half hour. I said to
the Thompsons I can come back to collect the last few if they are worried.
My next step is to walk them into the hive tomorrow evening is that right? Is
there anything I need to do now?
