I got a telephone call from a guy in downtown Chattanooga Tennessee. He told me he got my name from a friend who got it off of Craigslist. So I got him to text me his telephone number and address. Then I went to the nearest hardware store for a 5 gallon bucket, roll of duct tape, and a piece of air filter. All the things you need to make a bee catch bucket. Drove to the guy's house went in the backyard and in half an hour I had the honeybees out of his apple tree and in my bucket. The bucket is now upside down over the top of an inner lid with a small hole in it and the bees are moving into their new house. Their new house has store bought Foundation and one frame with drawn out comb on it I'm super excited update and let you all know if they decided to stay in a week or two. I also took AC filter and closed up the bottom and top doors of my bee hives so they couldn't just leave on their own but would still get plenty of ventilation.
