My first swarm call

(1/3) > >>

neillsayers:
Got the call yesterday with just enough time to get there before dark. They were clustered so close to the ground I had to scoop up most of them to get in the box. Not a big swarm but it was a fun experience. :)

LazyBkpr:
   I am so jealous of weather like that!

Wandering Man:
This seems to be prime swarm season down here.  3Reds and I are pretty much laying low when someone starts asking about swarm catchers.  We need to catch our breath before thinking about adding another hive to our apiary.

I'm tempted, but also very cautious about stepping into, or creating, another cloud of angry bees.

neillsayers:
So far these guys have been very gentle. Look like carnie mutts to me. I've got them hived with old comb and syrup. Hope they decide to stay. :)

Bakersdozen:
Looks like fun Neil.  4/12 was the first swarm I heard about around here.
