I am starting up beekeeping after a 30 year hiatus, Currently registered with the Texas Apairy Inspection Service as "Bee Friendly Bee Removal Service". All my experience with honey bee's are a result of growing up on a dairy farm with over 30 hives when i was a kid in Arkansas. So, my knowledge is Pre-CCD and "Pre-Killer Bee's era of beekeeping . Am testing a "Passive Bee Removal Method" for removing established structure colonies of honey bee's, so far it is working about 60 percent of the time. Hope to learn alot about "Organic BeeKeeping" and "Feral Swarm" management, as i think this is the future of beekeeping in the U.S.
Welcome to the forum :hi:, or since you are from Texas "HOWDY" :mrgreen: Tell us more about the passive removal technique you speak of.
