I did not see a queen on this one but I have two capped queen cells in the set up. It wasn't a pretty removal. Those comb sections, most of them, fell apart in my hands.
Last night the vast majority (99.9%) of the bees were in the deep I left behind atop a ladder. I sealed them up and will be transferring them shortly to one of my bee yards.
I was anticipating a nice, camera friendly removal but it just didn't play out that way.
I hope y'all are enjoying the videos and even getting something of use out of them. I'm having a blast making them!
Here's to the next one!
