Quality video for both content and editing! I do something similar, but I direct the cone directly into the hive box, which then has an exit for regular entry/exit. (Structurally, I do this with a mini-box with the cone, mounted next to the full-size box, with a 1" passage connecting the two.) This is easier on a wall, more difficult in a tree...

Excelente técnica, Parabéns pelo trabalho! Grande abraço do Brasil!

Many thanks for helping on this same problem. Regards from Mexico......

Good way. Thank you. Is it possible for the queen to come out, leave her old frames and the brood, and go out to the new box

Can you tell us what the materials were used to put the screens together that are shown at the beginning of the video? Thankyou in advance!

I was just asked to remove bees from a tree last night and didn't know what to do. An old retired beekeeper shared with me what he would do. After watching several videos, I found this one which is 1) very well put together and 2) exactly what he told me to do. I'm a visual learning, so having the video and explanation really will help. I'll let you know how it goes. Question: do you expect the bees to create a new queen from eggs you placed in the hive or do you expect the queen to exit the tree and find her way into the new hive or something else? Thanks again!

@@HinterlandBees this worked out very well. In fact, I extracted one tree hive in about 2 weeks (it was only there for a week or so before I got to it) and used my own queen. Another hive in a tree that was established for 4-6 weeks took only a few weeks to remove and I even found the queen had taken up residence in my box as well. I appreciate your help with this. Your video is excellent and really did me some good.

Does the queen also move into the box?

What a great idea!!

Thanks for saving the bees 😍 and sorry my english is not too good, what are the names of the tools that you used in this video?

Wow you are real expert... queen trap inside or she is decided join new hive ?

Does the queen also relocate?

Very nice. I have a trunk removal to do this weekend.

I wonder if you can combine this method with the forced abscond method where you drill a hole at the base of the hive somewhere and smoke them from below. This way gets them out quicker and might actually get the queen to come out as well.

Thanks for education and sher idea sukses for u

Can you explane how do you remove queen from the tree? Thanks in advance

How do you make the cone? Incredible video thank you.

I use an aluminium mesh. The holes need to be small enough that the bees can’t get through

can you tell me how small is the funnel exit so the bees cant get back in please?

@HinterlandBees

filzweiber the funnel exit needs to be big enough for at least 2 bees. Bees need to be able to remove dead bees from the nest and if the hole in the funnel is too small it will create a blockage. Provided the funnel is made from a mesh that the bees can see and smell through, they will always try to re-enter the nest at the base of the funnel, not through the hole at the tip.

Does the queen come along with this method?

how do you NOT get stung ? I thought they would be mad when you start in there especially with tools. ?? I have a similar nest and if you get near it, they seem to swarm you.

Each colony has a different temperament and some are more defensive than others. From experience I have a good idea of how defensive a colony will be and how much protection is required. Always having a bee smoker handy is also essential!

Very clever

Just make one mate, use fly screen mesh that you can get here in Australia or some sort of metal mesh so the bees can't chew through it and do as this guy did

Well executed, lucky to use your nimble fingers. Our lovely defensive Bees will noooot have it. Not in favor of poly. yet curious as to the lighter box -model type you have used?

What happens to the bees??

why there is a queen in the box, when the tree should already have a queen? thank you for insights

You rarely capture the queen from inside the tree. Because a trap out can take several weeks, the trapped out bees need a queen asap, long before the tree queen leaves the nest. You can read more here: www.hinterlandbees.com/articles/the-art-of-the-trap-out

I did this, and in addition I put a queen in a queen cage in the new hive box., plus a couple of drops of lemon oil in the new box. It worked great! The tree was later removed . Took the bees to an Avocado ranch , about twenty miles away, then they all took off a couple days later 😠!!!

While every trapout is different, she most likely will leave in a small swarm when nectar and pollen in the hive is exhausted. Occasionally she will find her way into the trap out box but there is no guarantee.

The queen won’t exit until the end and rarely ends up in the catch box. This method doesn’t catch the queen which is why I add one at the beginning of the process. The catch the queen you can attempt a forced abscond or do an eduction (Price Method).

Just regular European bees with gentle characteristics 😁

I had a friend do this with another queen in the trap box. When the bees couldn’t get back to the old queen they took to the new. After the colony started work in the trap box after a week with their new queen he then removed the cone. The bees went back into the hive over the following week and killed the old queen and 1/4 remaining bees then stole all the honey and brought it to trap box. I’m not sure how this will work without another queen unless the queen leaves too??

@HinterlandBees

Жыл бұрын

I always use a queen in the trap-box too. Removing the cone too early can result in you ending up with two colonies and not removing the colony from the tree, but I agree that your friend's technique can work and you can get the bonus honey harvest too. Personally I would leave it two or three weeks to remove the cone to ensure that the tree colony was very weakened. If there was a good nectar flow, the trapped out bees would be unlikely to rob the tree colony, so you'd need to wait for a nectar dearth to give it the best chance of working.

So this just traps the foragers and not the queen and nurse bees? Unless you just want the bees out of the tree I don't really see the point.

Over the course of 3 to 5 weeks this process will remove all of the bees from the tree. This particular nest was in the middle of a school playground, necessitating its removal. In Australia, feral colonies occupy cavities which would otherwise be homes to native creatures which maybe another reason to relocate bees into a managed hive.

If the bees nest is in an apartment, the option is a cut-out removal (I show that in our other videos). When the nest is removed by cut-out, the queen, brood and bees are saved 😁
