Title: Blueblood's Fifth Swarm 2015
Post by: blueblood on May 13, 2015, 09:00:01 pm

Captured and hived my fifth swarm of the season in my yard this afternoon. It was nice sized swarm which I am estimating near 5 pounds! Gave the yard a nice clipping to tidy it up some.

Ooooh Now Wait A Minute Blue!... that was way to easy, I'm half tempted to not even count this one. Except of course that it was really nice swarm! I'll have to think about it  ;) :D

ps. but i'll have to add that when my swarms land in my cedars up on our bank... it sure is nice  ;)

Ha! It was easy.  No doubt about it.  It was a big one!  I just returned from the yard.  Lifted it and put it in place.  Geesh, it was heavy!
