I had set up my trap behind Debra's house a week ago and checked it Friday. It had a large amount of activity so I picked up my wife from the ferry and after a beer, it was dark enough to close up the entrance. Any bees not making it back could go to the original hive and live.
Got back just at dark so I decided to just transfer the frames into one of the Octagons. Yesterday it was cold and rainy so I fed them some honey comb and added some sugar water with HBH. Today they are flying strong. Will check on Thursday to see if the queen is laying. Later
