See the hive entrance they came from in a Sydney Industrial building wall beside a footpath : youtube.com/watch?v=MQdKhhL9NuI
(note: the feral hive entrance video shows the Langstroth hive in late mid winter with no NSW registration painted on the front - the bees were not tempted and were eventually scraped from the wall during swarm in October)
I don't feed the sugar water system, i'm using a couple of lines of honey a day across the entrance or down the side of a few of their un started frames (Also some pollen dumps inside the hive). Recently they have started to draw comb since i introduced them to a normal hive after catching them as a swarm outside their wild hive in an industrial building wall.
