According to scientific study, it takes around six months for collecting a colony from its natural existance.The easiest way is to place a clay pot covering the natural entrance.A hole is drilled in the bottom of the pot for the passage of the bees.The pot is fixed using clay.Since there is only one passage available now for the bees to the outside world, the bees start to fly in and out through the hole we drilled on the pot.Now we can see the bees passing through the pot through the drilled hole.
This is the initial stage.I will post photos showing the developments till a new colony is built inside the pot.We can then remove the pot and place it in any convenient location or we can shift the bee colony from the pot to wooden cage.
