Hiving a Natural Swarm

Our master beekeeper friend Hanz came to check out our natural bee swarm.  He arrived decked out in his bee suit with ladder and hive box at the ready.  He placed the hive box in the tree (one of the frames had the scent of honey comb) and tied it in place.  Hanz brushed some bees into the hive and left them alone overnight.  By the following evening, the bees had adopted the hive box as their new home.
