Blueblood's Sixteenth Swarm of 2016
« on: May 22, 2016, 01:04:42 am »
I was in the bee yard installing a top bar hive when I heard the distinctive sound of a swarm.  This is the fourth one this season on the same young pine.  I passed on a swarm last night and referred one this morning to one of my brothers who I encouraged to keep last year.  I received a call from the beekeeper I caught the swarm from the other day in the bucket up high.  She said they have another one but it's lower.  I will head out tomorrow morning and possibly make it my 17th of 2016.
