Blueblood's Twelfth Swarm 2016
« on: May 15, 2016, 10:32:02 pm »
It was cooler today and I spent the majority of the afternoon building a run for two Rhode Island Red hens I will be acquiring tomorrow. I checked the yard as is common every day in May. I found a small 3 pounder in two clumps.

What time of day was it when you hived them?  From the video it looks pretty close to evening/night.  If that's corrrect, I can only express my amazement at the calmness of bees.  It's been my experience that bee work and darkness don't mix well.
