So, I managed to catch my first swarm today. I have them in a Nuc box awaiting for dark to let the last of the bees in before I close them up.
My question relates to moving them:
I caught them close by to my new apiary site, I obviously do not want them to relocate back to the original position of the swarm trap. So i'm thinking: I move them to my old apiary site tomorrow? and bring them back to my new apairy on the stand where i want them in 2 days?.
Is 2 days long enough?. As they were caught so close to my new site this is the best plan i could think of, correct if im wrong.
Thanks for any input.
