Tim's swarm
« on: December 09, 2013, 12:38:53 pm »
This was another huge swarm that had stared to move in the concrete block wall from the vent space made by brick soldiers, this was the only vent that did not have any screen on it. Only had a five frame nuc bee vac with me, to say the least it was jam packed.

Secrets to avoiding the overwhelming desire to INCREASE suction after you have been vacing for two hours at ten pm???    Seems to go SO SLOW when your doing it right....

You are exactly right about the go slow part, but it just means more live bees in the end. :P
