Great idea

If I were in that situation smoking a small bit of marijuana occasionally as needed would be my first choice. Would have Young Living's Stress Away essential oil mixture (link below) going in the diffuser

Just had the Worm Moon. Looks like yours saw it :-)

Commercial beekeeps I know take bees from a weak hive in a hive body and sit it on top of another stronger hive with newspaper in between. Theory is they get used to the new queen's pheremones in the time

Good job. Do you put any newspaper or anything between the box with the new bees and the old hive to help with the introduction? Always enjoy learning how other beekeeps do stuff.

Thanks @timcliff . Appreciate all your effort to support the Steem Economy

Brilliant post. What is the diameter of the bee vacuum hose and fan volume/time rating? Don't want to pull to hard/fast and hurt any bees after rigging something up like this.

Cool. Just happen to have some lemon grass essential oil :-)

Good job. Have captured swarms which are amazingly docile. Haven't yet moved a hive from where it can't stay. Aside from moving the queen into the hive box so the others will follow, do you also take some
