No. 1 timing:
It is not at what time of day but at what season you choose to catch a bee hive i.e spring season is best season when u get ready to catch any bee hive.
No 2: Hive:
Make it clear your hive should not be so big or so small, your size of box matters alot. It should not be bigger than box of Melefera Bee hive nor so small bees don't chose it for hive. The importent point is that after creating a hive we don't look after this hive result of that, wasps and hornet find best place to make their nest in these hives, once hornet or wasp make their nest in these hive bees never choose these boxes, until they leave that hive place.
Note: you can adjust super ( extra hives) to make hive much than its size.No 3: catch directly
This process too hard for beginners but with proper security by using veil's and the uniform, you can catch by gently swarming hive with your hands and put them in the boxes, make sure Queen Bee also with them.
No 4: Direction
it should be in direction of towards the south where sun directly fall on hive. As it is seen that Api cerana who are found in Kashmir they like those placeses where sun fall directly in there nest. It helps them survive in winter.
No 5: smell:
The old dark honey bee brood combs and you can add veneger also which helps bees to attract for next.
