Thanks so much for being properly mic'ed up - the good, clear audio on your videos makes them far more watchable than many others out there. And you're on topic and to the point - thanks for all of these.
The frames included with the swarm were drawn out. They went right to work storing nectar and laying eggs. We have added on another honey super and they are doing well.
分蜂後わずか5日間で貯蜜が大量にたまるとは…蜜源が豊富な証拠だ。 You get such a big amount of nectar in the frames only 5 days after catching the swarm...a proof that the area is abundant of honey producing flowers and trees.
Shane, I realize that this is WAY off topic but I've run into a problem that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. I saw in a video that soapy water water can be used to kill wasps/bees without making your equipment toxic. My question is in two parts; can soapy water be used to kill wasps, does it matter what kind of soap is used and what part soap to water mixture is best? I have a feeder set up to give my bees some sugar syrup to help them along. They are starting from a package this year and seem to be doing quite well but I think the wasps are eating more than the bees. I don't want to just bring out the big guns and poison my ladies if I can help it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. The Alkali Bee Guy...
+Rick Wright Is your feeder inside or outside of the hive? If you have the feeder outside the hive you will attract more than just wasps. Use an entrance feeder if you intend to feed a new package. As far as the soapy water killing the wasps; the soap that clings to the wings and body will dehydrate the wasps. Recipes vary but 2 tbs. of soap to 1 cup of water should do the trick.
Thanks for your reply, Shane. I've been using a feeder outside of the hive. The season's pretty much over for this year but I'll keep in mind what you told me when I get some more bees next year.

Good job
i think you need another box on top hehehe
love to watch such a careful act not destroying bees.
Great video Shane, thank very much. Also do you still carry your bee vac? I could not seem to find it. Tom

I just saw a bee trap of yours on the google store.
