This one was easy too. Had to wait about 15 minutes or so for the remaining bees to crawl over.

Every swarm is different. Each group of bees seems intent on their won plan. Getting them into my box and buying in on MY plan each time is a real IQ test. Sometimes I'm smart and sometimes I'm not so smart. Good job Blueblood. Don't swarms bivouac up high in Indiana? It looks like allyou need is that 8 foot ladder so far... :)

I have been lucky to have low swarms thus far. I have had a few high up in past seasons.

I like your fast motion camera work. It makes everything seem so simple---not that it's really hard , but they just breeze into your hive.
Have all the swarms been sticking with you? If not, they just don't know what a loss it is for THEM.
Keep 'em coming. 8)

Hi my friend! Yes, all have stayed in the yard. I had one bunch fly off this season but they were a cut out from a tree. I had put them in a new keep's top bar hive. I have had cut out bees fly off before.
