Tim's swarm
« on: December 09, 2013, 12:38:53 pm »
This was another huge swarm that had stared to move in the concrete block wall from the vent space made by brick soldiers, this was the only vent that did not have any screen on it. Only had a five frame nuc bee vac with me, to say the least it was jam packed.

You are exactly right about the go slow part, but it just means more live bees in the end. :P
