Message: [QUOTE="addy1, post: 360873, member: 2547"] We got all except maybe 100 bees, or less. There are probably 30000 bees in the containers. The main issue is did we get the queen, did we injure her and the weather needs to behave until she can lay some eggs and get the winter bees going. It is a gamble, may or may not make it. But worth the try. They would have died if we had left them. Hard to watch them huddle in a tight ball in pouring rain trying to protect the queen and the two pieces of comb they had drawn. Then the next morning, 34f in a real tight ball trying to stay warm. That is when we went to home depot and made up a bee rescue shopping list. Door screen makes a great face mask and good old painters tape. [/QUOTE]
