First swarm call EVER and it ends up being a cut out. It was at a bank, so we could not start the removal till
after 6:00 pm. Worked into the dark. Don't know if there was a queen, very new comb and no brood yet. However, they were marching into the box, so I hope that is a good sign. Thank goodness for my husband and his deconstruction skills!

Nice video! Congrats on your fist swarm. Looks like you guys had it under control :yes:

Very Cool! I'm amazed at how docile the bees are. Such a clean operation ;) 8)

Jen, it was surprising considering that they were very aggressive when I first went to check out the spot the day before. They were about ten feet up and were bumping me when I was standing on the ground. One of them did nail me on the upper inner thigh through my jeans. That is a tender spot :\'(
