That's an interesting setup for getting bees to move out. Let's hope it works. Good luck!

The bees that were out collecting pollen can't get back in while those already inside can only get out if they find their way up and out of that funnel. Pheromones will lead them back to the screened opening, though, once they find their way out. They can't figure out where the opening to the funnel was located.
In the evening, the guy came back with an empty bee-box and tossed it up near the opening of the funnel. With luck, the frustrated bees will take up digs there. In a few weeks to a month, the goal is to have them establish a new queen / colony in the box. Then the net comes down and, as he explained, if they take to the box it is likely that they will go into the old hive (in the wall) and actually MOVE the honey from the wall to the box.
I find all this quite fascinating.

Tat pic to be posted soon!
Other news: After thinkin' on it... I'm not going to the Ozzfest in Chicago (So I will miss out on Halford...) BUT! I am going to Sturgis in August to see Mötley Crüe live. I can't fuckin' wait. If I did go to Ozzfest I would see them and Halford but it was a decision made by me since my girlie has never been to SD before and it's amazing there. That's all the news I have... Can't wait for the Priest Beast to get that engine rollin' next year! |

| Denmark v Holland tonight is going to be good. I like Holland but have a soft spot for Denmark because I used to live there. |
