Hi Scott - "Just re applied Jens Magic Tincture formula. Got a couple stings when I squished bees, but otherwise went well.

     I've done two more hive inspections this last week, I buffed the propolis tincture onto my arms and hands, worked in the late eveing and no stings. I'm liking being perfumed with the scent of the hive when I'm in the hive  ;D

Once it starts to get dark most of the bees normally crawl into the hive. By dark they can usually be screened and hauled away.

That looks great! What Scott said, since you have the queen, they should all come in at night. I did a cut out one time and it was very warm. The bees were bearding heavily on the front and I needed to button them up so I could move them. I took a spray bottle of plain water and sprayed up above them so they think it's raining. They went right in.

If the queen is in the box the field bees should be in by night fall.  Tom
