Hello everybody; I have searched the archives for methods to catch feral hives; there is precious little information. I did download plans for the ingenious bee-vac - thank you Matthew Westall and Barry Birkey. We are belessed with many feral hives in Bequia, just waiting to be brought into sombody's yard (preferably mine). Unfortunately, the bee-vac only works if there is a source of electricity nearby. Unfortuantely, most of these hives are quite some distance from electricity. Short of cutting down a tree, does anybody have any ideas about catching these feral hives? Your input will be valued. Thanks, Bob in Bequia [log in to unmask]
