whopper of a swarm

[G3farms]

Got a call from an apartment complex about "some kind of bee infestation....it is huge"

Had to finish working regular job and then back to the house for the bee vac, had been there for a day and had two small pieces of comb the size of your hand. Dandy swarm if I do say so myself, possibly the biggest I have ever caught.

Wow! That is a whopper!

Can  you give us any details about how you went about hiving them?

Ef I used the bee vac to get them all but just a few foragers in a ten frame deep. Inside of the deep I had put what last few frames that had cut out comb in it (not attached very well) and four empty frames.

I knew I had to do something with them this afternoon. Went into them and three of the cut out frames comb had fallen out. What a mess. Cleaned every thing out, and put in seven new frames of foundation to get them going again.
