1st swarm of 2017 for RC
« on: March 25, 2017, 09:16:15 pm »
Found this one today when I went to do my mite treatments. They were a little to high to reach from the ground so I had to back the truck under them to reach them. I shook them down into a spare box and they crawled right in.

Catching swarms is probably my favorite part of keeping bees.
My old Dad was feeling pretty good today, so I took him to the farm with me. In his 78 years, this was the first swarm he ever saw. It was a special day for him.

I'm guessing it was a pretty special day for both of you! ;)  :yes:
