Doc, I was lucky enough to trap a swarm last week and followed your steps yesterday transferring them into a deep brood box and now have a new colony. Luckily, I always look on lids for queens whenever I’m inspecting bees. Sure enough the queen was on the inside of the lid. They are now in my “MASH”apiary behind the wires so the bears can’t get them. Thanks for the PRO advice! Kevin
Hey Minnesota! I plan to begin pulling honey within the week and filming the honey pulling process. I am not setup to cover the uncapping and extraction process however. 🍯
That is amazing. Love seeing you do all this with no suit. You are the Boss.
😂😂 thanks, I enjoy it without a suit too!

Oh man! That’s awesome news!!
I leave mine in the trap for 7 days, then move them. Great job on moving them. Thanks I enjoyed the video.
Cool, thanks!
Nice. Very informative.
Thanks for the idea! I planned on moving mine at night if bees ever move in?
I move my swarm transfers at night too. Good plan
When are you going to do your honey extraction videos?

@@thehivedoctor13 Why not? Everyone else does.
@@thehivedoctor13 Camera stand not working?
@MinnesotaBeekeeper Haha! That’s true😅. I like my setups to be at a certain point of development and organization and this one is not🤓
@MinnesotaBeekeeper No, what happened was after pushing the play button, at some point during the transfer, my phone stopped recording 😖
