Hello all Has anyone any experience or knowledge of getting bees to live inside a perspex container - in addition, getting them to climb up to a roof? I tried the other day and my swarm did not appear to want to leave their cardboard box and climb up the perspex to the roof. I can think of other ways to get them in, including mounting a frame of larvae on the roof and offering the swarm box up to the starter frame. However, that leaves the question of their comfort on perspex - maybe it out-gassed and they find it unpleasant. I did not give them proper ventilation until later and that might have caused problems. Now housed in a hive, the queen is laying well and they are behaving normally so there was no problem with the swarm. Help? -- James Kilty
