The sugar water has attracted the neighbors again even with the entrance reducer in place. Not a huge number of bees but many. I have read that if you trap the bees inside a strange hive for three days, they will make it their own. So I took off the bottom board and replaced it with my catch trap. Any home bees from the hive can get back in and any robbing bees will enter and not be able to get back out. The nasty hive will build up by someone else's attrition and if the literature is right, then the hive can begin to prosper, albeit, not the usual way. We'll see what happens. Later
