00:00 - [Music] 00:08 - [Music] 00:13 - hi I'm Jim - I'm John Grafton and we 00:19 - found a small beehive here that's moved 00:21 - into a compost bin small hive but it's 00:25 - in the wrong place 00:26 - bees in the wrong place don't work out 00:28 - well in the future so I'm gonna 00:30 - videotape it while John goes through the 00:32 - process of seeing if we can transfer 00:34 - this colony to a standard sized beehive 00:37 - you up for it we're gonna give it a shot 00:39 - okay then we're going to lift this top 00:44 - up and see just what's going on 00:46 - underneath just put a little smoke the 00:49 - kind of going in between the two pieces 00:51 - of wood here on the top so little smoke 00:54 - as we wouldn't if it was a normal 00:56 - beehive so I lift this up you can see 01:02 - the comb hanging from the lower side 01:06 - gently tin it over we don't really want 01:11 - to upset the bees out much we really 01:13 - want to try to keep everything as intact 01:16 - as possible 01:18 - what we've done is we have a standard 01:23 - frame without foundation without comb 01:26 - we've put some bubble bands around it 01:29 - just in preparation for this project and 01:33 - I think on this particular one I'm going 01:37 - to try to just cut each one of these 01:39 - pieces of comb off set them in this 01:44 - frame and then place them down into the 01:46 - colony so as we get ready to do this 01:49 - we're just going to try to take one 01:52 - piece of coma at a time this is just a 01:54 - small piece on the outside edge these 01:58 - beads it's not a big big bunch of bees 02:01 - in a big swarm 02:54 - okay there's one piece in the flame 02:57 - outlets if we can get this next piece 02:59 - off sometimes when you're taking these 03:06 - kind of colonies out of places that 03:09 - they're not supposed to be maybe it's a 03:12 - wall of a house maybe it's a tree that 03:16 - is blown down and get some pretty good 03:19 - slabs of comb and get stuff that's older 03:23 - than this so it's a lot stiffer than 03:25 - what this is I haven't actually seen the 03:28 - Queen 03:29 - I've only been about half looking for to 03:32 - be honest with you just so that we can 03:36 - if we do spot or we can make note that 03:40 - she is this she's you know we don't want 03:42 - to damage you in any way okay I've got 03:52 - enough room in that flame that I think 03:55 - this piece will fit right at the end of 03:58 - that so I'm going to jump around to this 04:00 - side see if I can't scrape it off 04:11 - [Music] 04:24 - okay now we've got those three little 04:26 - pieces of comb in that they're not held 04:30 - real tight 04:31 - they'll probably slip to the bottom we 04:34 - really don't want that to happen but 04:36 - it's just the size of them and the 04:38 - weight on they're gonna slide to the 04:39 - bottom of this flame when we turn it 04:41 - right-side up in them in the box 04:43 - I did see the Queen on that next piece 04:46 - we're going to gently turn this over so 04:51 - that we don't completely shake 04:52 - everything loose as we make the 04:54 - transition we try to just ease it down 05:00 - into this box now you can see those one 05:04 - two slide but they go in now it leaves 05:13 - us this one last piece to hell with the 05:16 - compost bin we've got two three down in 05:20 - the hive 05:25 - I don't see the Queen right now let you 05:31 - go this year there's a queen right had 05:35 - in the middle Stearns if she is moving 05:38 - right up across this way so see if I 05:44 - can't maybe get hold up and we'll just 05:46 - transfer her down down into yeah yeah a 05:54 - guy just got to buy the one wing which I 05:56 - really don't like to catch her that way 05:58 - but I'm God are there between my fingers 06:04 - and now she's trying not to squeeze it 06:07 - too much just gently enough you can hold 06:10 - on to it would drop her down into the 06:14 - box with the other B so it's already in 06:16 - there and then we know that she's in 06:18 - then we won't have to worry about 06:21 - squeezing or something 06:29 - and level bands are holding the comb in 06:31 - place 06:46 - now someone may ask when do you come 06:50 - back and take those rubber bands out the 06:53 - answer is simple we don't 07:29 - we'll come back later this evening after 07:33 - things have quieted down and hopefully 07:35 - all these is down on the compost bin and 07:37 - would have moved up into that box and 07:40 - everybody will be be happy that way but 07:43 - every one of these situations is 07:45 - different so if you get a call for 07:49 - something like this go out see what 07:51 - you've got good luck thanks for watching 07:57 - [Music]
