Hi Natalie, the main part of my strategy is in the first half of my video. The last half didn’t work out well because most of the bees went back to the original hive. That left the brood that I left vulnerable to SHB damage, which did happen. There was a lesson learnt there. I should have closed them up & taken them back to my place or at least 5 k’s away so the bees would stay with the brood.
The first 1/2 worked well. They made a nice new queen. I guess with my strategy, you actually get 2 new queens.
