catching swarms is ok for hobbyists but its a big way of spreading disease i.e a hive swarms in the spring with foul brood you catch the swarm your hive has foul brood your bees drift into other hives spreading it and the circle goes on etc so just a tip for you
That's the first time I ever saw a bee hive like that! How did they get started in a set of drawers? I also noticed that it looked like the new hive was made with OSB at least on the bottom, how is it holding up? I also did a video response with a video of my first hive last summer.
black color is not the best choice nice vid

That is SO COOL!
You are wonderful for making a hive and moving those bees. You will be rewarded well.
Thank you for posting.
