It couldn't be simpler. Show the new hive to the bees, add an awful amount of smoke (sure that some got burned) to the entrance of the tree hive, knock consistently the walls of the original hive and at same stage the miracle happens. The beekeepers just leave some bees in the tree so the remainers can make a queen (through now all those books about beekeeping). Not very scientific but cheap and effective - I wonder what is the level of varroa infestation in this cork tree hives. The bee trees are left in their original place until the next year.

According to Jesus Cordero - accomentator of this video - the bees would return back to the original hive in case the queen wouldn't have swarmed.
