My cone funnels are heavy window screen wire and I use paper stapler to make it hold its shape. go to ABSOLUTE BEGINNER BEEKEEPERS on facebook and search "trapout" you can see some of the traps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077008909910267179.post-30678448603524811702015-03-19T06:36:29.336-05:002015-03-19T06:36:29.336-05:00I am a beekeeper beginner but I am looking for Con...I am a beekeeper beginner but I am looking for Cone trap, where can I find it?

It drives bees out of a honey super maybe it would force those last bees, and maybe the queen, to hi-tail it out of there too!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672991054730653764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077008909910267179.post-24827945489233657322011-03-03T11:03:37.185-06:002011-03-03T11:03:37.185-06:00I do a similar thing, but leave the original hive ...I do a similar thing, but leave the original hive intact.<br /><br />Try using your set up, but instead of a making the trip one-way, make it two-way, so that the bees can go back and forth between the nuc and the tree. And make it dark. I use PVC.<br /><br />When first making the set up, but a couple of frames of brood and stores in the nuc. The foragers will "tell" the queen about this location and she will come out and lay eggs in the nuc.<br /><br />When you have eggs and the queen is no longer in the nuc, take the nuc away and let the bees raise their own queen.<br /><br />Obviously this only works in a location where you can leave the bees. If the owner wants the bees gone a trap-out is appropriate. But I hate to lose the feral genetics which a trap out does.<br /><br />AdamAdam Christiansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829293818528209342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077008909910267179.post-48387873930922818592011-03-02T09:10:19.415-06:002011-03-02T09:10:19.415-06:00Thanks so much for giving me this link.

Last time I checked I had plenty of bees in the hive but still had to plug a few holes in the cone. I have one frame of brood with a queen cell and bees were covering the brood. I'll check the cone again today to see if I have plugged all entrances.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774903259772280962noreply@blogger.com
