The extracted queen is located in the lower left of the photo. She's the one that has an elongated abdomen and shiny thorax.
Comb banded into a deep frame.
A bee vacuum has reduced suction so the bees are not damaged in the process.
Two weeks worth of building.
On Sunday I helped a friend remove bees from his wall. This is the short version of the extraction. We cut into the wall, used a bee vacuum to remove most of the bees, then cut out the comb and connected it via rubber bands to new frames. They are happily relocated in my apiary.
The swarm from the previous video clip settled in two bunches of bees. The larger cluster (in the foreground) contained the queen.

Old Swarm was a Big One!
Students requested a big swarm video. This was a while back, but was definitely a big one. In fact, it was more spread out than I thought, which is why you can see a few falling to the ground instead of all falling in my bucket (not ideal). My wife was holding the camera vertically...sorry :)
