- Sometimes things happen.
In this swarm transfer I had to do a little extra work. It was almost like a cut-out. Well maybe a cut-loose.
Rubber Bands Size 117B

"What do I do? What do I do?" I was rolling laughing at you struggling to get those frames situated for you to remove the comb. Oh yea, the life of a beekeeper. Nice swarm and rearing to get started. God's peace brother.
After I got all of them out at the same time I was like Wile E Coyote catching the Road Runner, "what am I going to do with them now?" LOL!
You where very gentle with the bee's, i like that not every beekeeper does that. 😊
Thank you.
A nice recovery from what first looked like a real mess to have to deal with.
So they built that much comb over how many days you estimate?
And the X shaped diagonal corner placement of rubber bands I have never seen much less considered. Much better support for the loose comb.
Nice size swarm too.
I’m much better prepared now for my next swarm catch
Got 4 swarms in March and not even witnessed a scout so far in April
I’m in Baldwin County, AL outside of Bay Minette
"And the X shaped diagonal corner placement of rubber bands I have never seen much less considered. Much better support for the loose comb."
I've recently seen it on a couple of other videos and once you have seen it, it is so obviously the best method.
Thank you. They were in the swarm box for about 15 days. I normally like to get them out between 4 to 7 days. That just has not happened lately. Our nectar flow stopped here after that last freeze, but now it picking back up. That may have had something to do with the swarming slowing down.
@@apveening I picked that trick up from Mike Barry a couple years ago.
You make this look so easy! LOL. Just easy deliberate movements and you never get rattled
Thank you.
A swarm catch and a cutout all in one.Good recovery.
Thank you.
Joey, I've gone to using bamboo skewers for support in swarm trap frames. Fishing line does not hold up. Wire is a pain. Fingers crossed. Great instruction.
I heard someone else mention that the other day. I might have to give that a try. Thanks.
Don’t you just love when your work something loose to figure it out and then you don’t have the hands or equipment to do anything?😁😁 I was feeling it when you did that. I’m watching you place those frames and thinking, you forgot that comb on the lid😬😬
Yep. Did you see my reply to Mr. Ed? I Was Like Wile E Coyote catching the Road Runner, "what am I going to do with them now?" LOL!
Nice swarm, Joseph, that was a big queen also should make a good hive.
I hope so. Thanks.
You can save a lot of bending over by putting a bunch of those rubber bands around your left wrist.
You are probably right, but I can see myself getting all tangled up in rubber bands. lol!
Nice job Joey! Always an adventure.
Thank you.
Another nice catch and great save Joey!
Thank you.
What size rubber bands do you use?
#64. Go to a hobby shop that does rc aircraft. They'll have them..
The rubber bands I was using in this video are 117B. I put a link in the description.
Joey, are you trying to cut in on Mr Ed’s cutout business? lol. It didn’t look at bad. Still a good catch!
I would have a lot of catching up to do for that. LOL! Thanks.
Hey Don. I’ve been doing lots of cutouts. I have one left that took me 4 hours to find the void they occupied in the roof. They sprayed 10 inches of foam insulation everywhere. Next Friday I will attempt to get them out.
Good job. Hope I never have to do it
Thank you.
I use that same rubber band method. It works great!!! Thanks Joey!!!
They sure do. Thanks
That is very interesting. A different method of handling swarm traps. 😂 You made the best of it. They are going to make a productive hive.
Thank you. I hope they do well.
Great video Joey, I just caught my first one of the season. Starting to get going in WV.
Thank you. Congratulations on the swarm catch.
Nice cutout Joey. sure glad you didnt harm the Queen..
Thank you. Me too. I was worried about where she might be.
You need to borrow dirt rooster's cake knife to cut that comb.
Yep, that would be nice.

They are 117B. I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching.
Job well done!
Thank you.
Well I'm glad to see somebody that's using this robot back to crossway's own to frames like I've been trying to tell everybody For a while Uncle rob said that
Thank you.
We have lows in the 30's and 40's and highs in the 50's and 60's, and rain. Our second 3" in a week or so. No shade in the woods yet as the leaves have yet to come out. Good tip on using foundation less comb in a swarm traps. I have a couple set out that I have to carry a little ways. Thanks for posting, always a pleasure, take care.
Your highs are close to our lows. You are not catching much of a break yet.
@@josephrawls If it was beautiful here all the time then more people would live here and I would have to move north!
Good stuff joey.
Thank you.
