Swarm to Topbar Hive: Catching Bees part 3

Here is a video of me transferring my Bee swarms to topbar hives from my swarm trap/ bait hive boxes. The topbar hives are of Kenyon and Tanzanian style and made quickly from readily available scrap materials.
If you haven't seen the other parts of this series here is a quick overview.
This adventure started with me quickly putting together some warm boxes for bees that were resting in the eve of my porch, and several weeks later it has turned into four topbar hives with bees and honey inside! I'm not sure if they'll stay but so far so good:) The topbar hives are not pretty as they were built from scrap wood but seem to be functioning well up to this point.
As I've noted before, I'm not a professional beekeeper and this is very much a learning process for me. So please consult a professional in regards to working with or keeping bees.
