đź”´AMAZING LIVE Capturing a Huge Honey bee swarm!
What happens here
The beekeeper prepares a new beehive box, specifically a deep brood box, for the swarm. He first opens the box, demonstrating its emptiness. He then inserts several wooden frames into the box, some with existing honeycomb, which serves as an attractant for the bees and a head start for their new home. He ensures the inner and outer covers are accessible.
Goal: Set up a new hive box to house the collected swarm
