Another great video JP. Do you notice any difference when you're wearing a light coloured shirt or a dark one like you were sting wise?

Well, I do too, but I would really prefer to see me getting them!

A nice video. A pleasure to sit and watch whilst it's cold and wet outside. Too early for swarms here but this gives me the itch.

Different folks ...... different ways. I would have put the swarm box with one or two frames of comb, no floor, a closed top, on the roof hanging over the swarm. Gently smoking from below would have encouraged the bees to walk up into the box ..... in theory  ;D.
