I agree, you are 100% correct. That is why the longer you have to wait,
the better you are. In my part of the world, the nectar flow is over by 1
July. If I were to wait 4 weeks from today there would be almost no
nectar and the odd of this working would be reasonably good. As I stated,
the longer the better. Unfortunately many home owners want the bees
"Killed" no later than 3 days before they called you and a wait of 4
weeks is out of the question. If there is a faster way of hiving these
bees without tearing into the wall and the associated expense, I would
like to know. I certainly am not to old to learn and am always looking
for new tricks to try. :~)
