Adapting to the situation is the mark of a beekeeper. Congrats on the small swarm catch. Subscribed after the last of your videos before watching this one.
I would have clipped a wing on that flighty queen or at least place a plastic queen excluder on the entrance. Perhaps a frame with a little brood might help as well.
She walked off a frame into my hand without me noticing today. She’s a runner. I wrongly credited someone else with your above clipping wings comments.
