New trap out

I'll be starting a trap out 2 blocks off Wendover Friday noon if anyone wants to help. TJ, that shouldn't be too far away from your house. If you want to check on them every few days and make any adjustments they need, it will save me many miles and we will use your hive so you can keep the bees. I will supply the egg frame if you don't have one to spare.
I will be at the fire station

I can lend a hand. I can bring the "rookie cone" if needed.

Ski, I can't use the "rookie cone" or one of mine. It has to be a special made cone. If you want to come down to the shop tomorrow morning, you can help me build it. It has to have about an 8 inch opening on the base.

Wally,
What time would be good to come by the shop.
Definition of "Rookie Cone"
Wally helped me build a cone for the trap out at Forest Oaks. The trapout is complete. So this is now the Rookie Cone. So if any rookies would like to borrow the cone for a trapout let us know.

Ski has made the special funnel. We are ready to start at 11:30 Friday morning. "Tomorrow".
TJ, Where are you?

It's no secret, John.

From I-40, go toward town to Edwardia, turn left and go to the 300 block. Turn into the Edwardia Industrial complex. Go to the building on right, to last door. Says "Gingher" on building.

Sorry everyone haven't been on in a few days and didn't see the message. Hi Wally, It's Saturday about 12noon and I will go by this afternoon and check it out and report back on the forum tonight. I want to see this special cone! TJ

Thanks, TJ. I will be meeting the manager tomorrow morning at eleven to go in the building and see if they are getting to the inside. There isn't enough bees in the box for it to be finished. If that is all there is, than the hive was doomed to begin with.

Checked the trap at 11 this morning. 5 to 6 frames of bees and none inside the building.
Everything looking good.

That's great....So they were just being shy when I was there. Sneaky. Do you want me to go by again, possibly Tuesday 1pm?

Only for your own benefit. You are welcome to go by whenever you want in order to watch their progress and learn trapping out. There is an ex-beek working there who will be watching it for me during work hours.
Thanks for the offer.

I removed the cone last weekend to allow them to rob out the honey in the building. I picked up the hive tonight. Ten full frames of bees. I'll go into them tomorrow and check for a queen.

How do you know they won't go back into the building permanently? Is it because they have new brood in box now that's there's, and any other brood in building would be hatched out or dead?
