hii, i am new to bee stuff, although i used to watch a lot of such info and videos, but hand on un prepared is different.
Last night a swarm of honey bee nested on apple tree just 1 fence beside my allotment.
Unprepared, i just use what i got- a styrofoam box with lid. i make a portion of bee dropped into the box, couldnt do the rest of the bee, hence place the box on ground beside the tree; in my part of allotment. left the lid slight open so the bee can go out and in.. lately is hot, today can goes up to 28c in germany. i dont want to cook the bee that are in the hive.
now there are 2 portion of bees gatherings. 1 in the box, the other still on the tree limb. i had stand on ladder to see where the queen is, but can find it. So now, i hav no idea where the queen bee is and no idea whats going to happen..
Anyone please advice.
