I got a call tonight. Sunday a guy was tearing down a house and ripped open a wall of bees. They had destroyed the comb(ugh)...and said a large ball of bees had gathered on a tree. Today they were on the ground in the rubble of the flat house near the former hive entrance location.
I put a box near them and most of them marched in, but I didn't catch a queen that I saw.
The colony is in a box in my yard, it this late in the season I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I might try to look for a queen tomorrow, I might pull a couple of brood frames from other hives and I'm considering spraying them with sugar water and dumping them I to my newest/smallest hive.
Thoughts?
