Great job! What a mess. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks for taking us along!

You and me both!

Thank you for taking time to film and share Chuck. Very interesting to watch. Please keep making Honey Bee videos. (and FSD ones too!)

[@chuckshoneybees]

Thanks, will do!

I have done lots of bee removals and sometimes would combine a couple of hives together and sooner or later they would work it out. I always wonder what happens in the hive when they chew through the rubber bands, and they snap.

Very cool stuff chuck, will share with my friend in Ohio. If he’s not already watching your vids I’m sure he will like em.

Thanks, I’m cleaning out a fallen bee tree Tuesday, I will use my capping equipment for the honey comb wax.

[@chuckshoneybees]

Perfect!

[@LisaBaker-cb7bg]

Looks like you had a mess. I like your longer videos.

[@chuckshoneybees]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback.

I've seen some vids where people use two 5 frame nucs screwed together to make a swam trap. Maybe you should switch to that? Would make it a whole lot less messy 😆
