Tonight I am going to sort out this mess of my own making.
I cut out a colony from a porch roof and stupidly left the comb in a plastic tub to sort out later - and forgot about it.
Pretty sure the queen is in there too as they just found an exit hole and went off foraging as if they had always been in there with the comb all jumbled up.
I cut a large hole in the bit of cardboard and placed a NUC on top to get the scent into it.
Tonight I guess I am in for a long and messy job sorting out some decent comb for the NUC, finding Madam and safely transferring her.
Lesson - sort the comb out before bed next time.
And there goes the phone for yet another swarm.
