Re: Robbing Bees Question
That's NOT what I mean. My robber screens are on a bottom entrance hive, but only have an entrance from the top of the screen. No entrance from the bottom of the screen.

I think 72 hours is correct, but in this weather, I wouldn't chance it. I would move them a few miles and bring them back after 4 days. On extra for ins.

Re: Aggression
In the spring, I agree with Reedyfork. In a dearth, I have never seen a docile colony.

Re: Dearth?
I know of two removals yesterday. Not a drop of honey in either hive. Yes a bad dearth is on.

Re: Laying worker
If there was no other brood besides the queen cells, remove them. They are not viable. I would remove the queen you found and place in another box with 2 frames of some honey and pollen.

Can't seem to retire
Swarm about 6 feet high in small twigs on small tree. Shook them into a nuc box and left them to gather until dark. About 3 to 4 lb. Only about 3 miles from my house.

Bill, as old as this thread is, they may not sign on to see your post. I would give them a call. They are nice folks and won't mind a phone call.
