Bee Keepers preparing a new hive for a new bee colony. A swarm of bees and a new bee hive has been prepared and ready to accept a new bee colony. The new hive for a new bee colony and the brood box bee hive is placed below the shrub containing a swarm of about 15000 bees before the branches are then shaken to allow the swarm to fall onto the new hive before entering it. When they have entered the hive, the cover is placed over the top and then left for a day to allow all the swarm to enter.
