Another one we were able to smoke out. Put it on full screen and keep your eyes peeled around 3:14.

Great footage.  Glad you got the queen so early.  Your having great success with that smoker here lately.  Maybe your title needs to be "The Smoker King".   :-D

Thanks for sharing,
James

Will that catch box fit down inside of a 10 frame deep, if so next time the queen gets slurped up sit the catch box in a 10 frame deep with some comb or foundation and see if the bees will march into it, just a thought.

Great job there again, thanks for the video.

Peg sucks her up at 4:32. I saw her crawl through the crack. :-D

I don't know why...maybe something to do with editing...I'm seeing her at 4:24 now. I slowed the action down just for those few seconds.

Good video.   I am glad (with all that coughing going on in there) that you did not get asphyxiated from all that smoke.

Yeah Allen, for some reason that pine straw smoke always gets me going...none of the other fuel we use does...go figure.
