Swarm and foundationless beekeeping

[Jeff Buzz]

I collected a swarm about 10 days ago.
Having just about all my gear in use and no foundation to speak of I thought I would go foundationless and included a plastic frame with a bit of empty comb that had been cut off the bottom of a frame along with a broken frame of honey that the wax moths had had look at along with 3 new frames with just a little foundation in the top and 2 strands of fishing line horizontally across the frame.

I really was short of gear as you can see.

Taken 9 days after just to show as you all know how clever bees are along with the queen from the swarm who had laid wall to wall 5 frames.
