I was heading home from metal detecting when I got a page from work to call the guy that tows/impounds our vehicles. I called him and he said he had a nest of bumble bees. I was excited before he said this but then I remembered how folks just don't know what to make of swarms, ha! After a few questions, I knew I had my first swarm of 2015! It's been colder and I figured swarms were held back. 63 degrees when I shook them. I am about to return for them now. After shaking them, I went home and prepared all of my swarm gear and put an extra nuc in my truck for any other calls. Putting one in my squad also. And, four of several swarm traps being placed tomorrow. Sorry for the shake and back when dropped them. I really need to get a camera I can attach to my head or something. The swarm was not even two feet off the ground. Easy one! Enjoy!
