Hi all
Despite adding anther brood box and super well before time, cheking for Queen cells,etc my lot still swarmed but they are in a tree above the hive so i will be getting them back tonight. I have a 5 frame nuc ready. Should i just collect then directly into the Nuc and then add some frames and a frame of stores on top/amonst them or put the frames in first and drop the bees in on top...or doesnt it matter.?
First time i,ve actually done this.
Thanks
