#7- How to know when to set swarm traps - Bee disaster!!!

In this video of Narrow Path Life, we have a bee disaster! Of the eleven hives we went into winter with, only three survived. We are confident this is user error, but we discuss how we feel we messed this one up and our plan to fix the issue. We are new to bee keeping so we hope our errors will help others out.

Also, we discuss how we know when to start setting honey bee swarm traps based on the bloom of local flowers. This gives us a reliable way to judge honey bee swarm season in our area. We also discuss how we set up our swarm traps. We hope this gives everyone a good idea on how to catch wild honey bees.

As we are a new channel and we are learning as we go, please be sure to leave us comments regarding any advice you would give us. Also, let us know which shots you like or don't like.

Thank you all for watching!!!
