Here is a photo of a cutout that we did last year in the roof over a bay window:
What we do during a cutout is take as much brood comb as is needed to keep the hive alive, some of the honey stores for food, and as many bees as we can catch or vacuum, including the queen. If we can't manage to get the queen, it is a bit more difficult to get the hive going in its new home, but not impossible. If you have a strong hive, they will hatch a new queen. You can also buy a queen from a breeder and "re-queen" the hive.
WOW! Just WOW!
Thank you.
I am learning so much on the Gardening Threads. I have only been gardening for flowers and ornamentals, but this summer I want to start vegetable gardening.
I am considering a square foot garden. I don’t really understand the purpose of raised bed gardening.
