Vieques Bee Keepers - W Hotel Bee Swarm - Finding the Queen

Removing a bee swarm from the W Hotel on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.
Relatively safe and green pest removal by Captain Sharon Grasso and Terminix PR.
The queen was moved into a small transfer hive but there were too many bees to fit inside, at one point thousands of bees erupted from the small opening, filling the air with a cloud of confused creatures. So we grabbed an apple box, placed the queen inside and within minutes the swarm was making its way inside.
The box of bees was then transferred to a new hive on our property for observation, to date they are doing fine.

at about 5:20 check out some cleaner bees dragging out a dead worker, aslo you can see several of the larger drones poking around while the others arrive.

at the end of it all they clustered into a corner of the box, all surrounding the queen.
