It depends on where the swarm is to begin with. If the beekeeper is hoping to attract a flying swarm, he/she will set up a bait hive and hope to entice a swarm to enter the hive. If he/she has already collected a swarm from somewhere, he/she will have it in a box. If that is the case he/she has two options. 1) just shake the bees into the top of the hive and then put the roof back on or 2) make a little ramp up to the hive entrance, tip the bees out of the box and on to the ramp and they will probably just walk into the hive.
There are companies that will ship you some bees along with a queen. You could go to your local expert bee keeper (In the Utica NY area, John McDonald on Paris Hill Rd, Sauquoit) and ask them for queen bee advice, or you could hope that a swarm will enter you hive.
The temperature inside a bee hive is around 33 degrees and when they get stressed the temperature is normally around 37 degrees
A queen bee will leave the hive a couple of days after she emerges from the brood cell in order to mate with several (up to 15) drones. She will then return to the hive and will not leave it again unless with a swarm, looking for a new home.
The Bee-Hive - journal - was created in 1861.
how is a bee hive like a cell
If a swarm of bees makes a home in a tree in your garden, you can telephone a bee keeper to take the colony to another hive.
look in rafters, nooks and cranny's on a house. Such as where the roof overhangs the house. Also, look at trees, logs, etc. oh yea, also where you see a swarm at haha call a bee keeper.
No. A swarm of bees will only form a hive where a cavity in the tree already exists.
The bees will swarm and leave the hive and look for another source to sustain their colony and build another hive.
Both. A hive is an artificial home that a beekeeper provides for his bees.. A swarm of bees is a huge cloud of bees which occurs naturally during the bee reproducing process.

When the queen leaves her nursery nest she takes a group of workers with her, this is a swarm, they then form their own colony.

The best time for the beekeeper to catch a swarm of bees is when he hive has been settled. Using smoke also helps to calm the bees.
