For more information on beekeeping or to learn more about this video, please visit my blog: bees.chrisinch.com
In this video, I demonstrate how to remove bees from frames without using a bee escape or a bee blower (or leaf blower).
With two people, one person can shake the majority of bees from the frame towards the entrance of the hive. The second person can then use a soft bee brush to remove the remaining bees.
Once the frames are free of bees, then you can place the frame in an empty box. Some people use a sealed Tupperware box, but I just used an old nuc (nucleus) box that I had at home.
