Just breathtaking footage of the bees and queen marching into hive.
This is the full-length video of an excerpt I posted the other day.

Wow that queen was in a hurry to get in.
If you keep the 'queenincluder' on for a few days untill she is laying, there will be near zero chance of the bees absconding.
very nice video
friendly greetings

Adriaan,
Yes, I turned the wheel to the normal setting the next morning and everything was fine, but I made sure I gave them some supplies from another hive to keep them anchored before I did that.
They have settled in just fine and I have actually merged another colony with them that was queenless. I checked yesterday and their movie-star queen is laying up a storm, LOL. |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
