Carrying out a shook swarm

One of our beehives has contracted a virus called Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus and if left alone, would die out within weeks, with a possibility of infecting neighbouring hives. Under these circumstances, we had to take drastic action and perform a shook swarm in an attempt to save the hive.
The link below is a follow up video to this shook swarm video and shows that the action taken has been successful and the hive is thriving

So nice.. Shook swarm is a very good method to remove diseases ..

[@TheYohtube]

Thank you, very informative...

[@stevechurch2126]

Terrific video, is this method effective at reducing a hive's urge to swarm

So what did you do with the other 3 boxes and frames? I have oroblem right now in 3 hives need move fast my heart is sad. Sense i move to Washington state it bee quite a challenge with bees.

We cut out all the frames which had brood in them, the remaining frames were kept in isolation for 4 weeks which should be long enough for any disease to die out, and re-used them. Cleaned boxes with hot washing soda water.

@@andycope5985 Andy thank you so much for your quick response I so appreciate it I will do my next whatever needs to be done to get this thing out of my hives thank you

[@wadebarnes6720]

Look like they have been poisoned

[@andycope5985]

It can give that impression but this is typical of Chronic Bee paralysis virus which is now becoming quite common across the Country and we are all trying different ways to get the hives through this and back to good health

@@andycope5985 yes. Thank you should have said I am interested in the shook to move bees from a commercial nuc to a National...thus my question. Mine are healthy bees

[@andycope5985]

@@AM-tn8yu Sorry, we misinterpreted your question. In our case, the brood and all the comb would have been infected with the virus so we had to melt down all the wax and boil the frames in soda water. If the brood was healthy, we would have definitely used this to boost another colony.
