Making A Package Of Bees From A Top Bar Hive With Sam Comfort

At the Treatment Free Beekeeping Conference last month, Sam Comfort demonstrated how to make a package of bees from a top bar hive.  For his funnel he used 4 pieces of cardboard taped together and attached it to a yogurt container with the bottom removed so it could fit inside the package box.  After the package was complete he removed the funnel and stapled a piece of cardboard to the top of the box to close it off.

Here is a closeup picture of the package and funnel.  That piece of cardboard on top of the package will be used to cover the hole when the funnel is removed.
