Bee Swarm Transfer June 30th

If you've ever wondered how to safely move a captured honey bee swarm into its permanent home, this video walks you through the entire process. Today I'm transferring a healthy swarm from a swarm trap into a single 10-frame deep brood box here in Southwest Washington. You'll see the step-by-step process I use to: Safely remove frames from the swarm trap Keep the brood nest in the correct order and orientation Minimize stress on the bees during the transfer Set up a single deep brood box for a strong start Give the colony the best chance to establish quickly Swarm season in the Pacific Northwest can be incredibly rewarding, and catching local survivor genetics is one of the best ways to expand your apiary. Whether you're a brand-new beekeeper or have years of experience, I hope this video gives you practical tips you can use in your own bee yard. This swarm was captured in Southwest Washington, where our climate presents unique opportunities and challenges for beekeepers. If you're keeping bees in Washington, Oregon, or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, I'd love to hear how your swarm season is going. 👍 If you enjoyed this video, please Like, Subscribe, and leave a comment with your questions or your own swarm-catching stories. #Beekeeping #SwarmTrap #HoneyBees #BeeKeeping #BeeSwarm #SwarmSeason #Apiary #LangstrothHive #BroodBox #WashingtonBeekeeping #PacificNorthwest #PNWBeekeeping #HoneyBee #Bees #BeekeepingLife
