Hi all re-queeners
The safest way to remove attendant workers is;
take one A4 size poly bag, place one ungloved hand plus cage of bees in bag, stuff ends of bag up sleeve to prevent bees escaping. Open cage allow all bees to escape into bag, gently guide queen back into cage and close it. Remove hand and trap bees in bag to be dealt with later, no problem, never been stung doing this. Remember to remove candy plug!
Cheers Andy Johnston.
