This was a cast swarm (very small), so I decided to house it into a smaller bait hive. Later, this will make it easier to transport to an out apiary. In the meantime, it’s situated outside my kitchen door so I can keep an eye on their progress and feed if necessary. The hive isn’t as precariously placed as it appears, the roof has subsequently been weighted down so it can’t move.
