Tagged: swarm boxes
Beeks—I know it is sometimes hard to follow the daily flow of the posts for swarm box adoptions that I put up, but just to re-iterate—-the bees do not do well in confinement over more than a day. Keeping them for 2 or 3 days only means you will travel to pick up a box of mostly dead bees. You MUST be willing to come the same night the posts go up and install the swarm the SAME night to have the best chance of their viability. Please be sure you are set up to have the “Word Press digest” arrive first thing in the morning or late at night for you to see them to most advantage. I will give them to Josip if they are still hanging around after a day—I say this because I am getting calls from people trying to make it more convenient for themselves and not for the health of the colony. I would not insist if it were not the truth that they die quickly in boxes. I put up the posts as soon as I have the boxes arrive or I am taking swarms myself locally Thanks Susan
