Title: Swarm
Post by: Jtcmedic on May 17, 2017, 02:28:38 pm

Caught a swarm this am, my brother in law called me, about size of cantaloupe , dropped them into a nuc box and had to go to work, for 24 hr, planning on keeping them closed up 24 hr, then feed and add a brood frame. Any suggestions 
Thanks first swarm ever whoooo
