Conversion Hive - Moving bees from Langstroth to Layens frames.

There are several ways to move bees from Langstroth frames to Layens; most methods involve using frame adapters, cutting comb (or frames) apart, or installing frames at right angles to each other. I opted to build a hive in which, using adapters, I can install different sized frames next to each other and move a colony using entrance selection and a queen excluder. In this video I install a colony, currently on Langstroth frames, with intent of having them migrate to Layens frames. This hive may also be useful for splits and/or queen rearing in the future.

To see how the migration is going after two weeks, watch the 2 week check here:    • Conversion Hive 2 Week Check
