  • nice hive. Im about to build one starting next week. I think Im going to take a thin sheet of wood and run it vertically from the bottom of the bar . that should reduce collapse and also give me some more strength if it get turned on its side while im checking the hive.

  • Interesting... you might be right. They did eventually swarm to a nearby tree but then returned because the clipped queen couldn't follow.

  • I think your hive was actually being robbed. I thought I saw some fighting on the front step there. Did they ever swarm?

  • thanks for sharing this great video Sir..not many have seen inside a hive before they swarm..could not believe it..such activity inside the hive..over here in ireland we never get a swarm until may..cold climate.......billy
