How true River, How many have witnessed hives swarm and stood helpless as the disappeared. or a family member watched them go.

Being a NEWBEE, the only swarm I've seen (to date) was more of an Alfred Hitchcock moment! 
There were bees everywhere I looked  :o

At one of our bee club outings at my farm one of the members spotted a swarm in a tree about 50 ft. up and hanging over the creek bank (more than likely one of mine). No one figured out how to get it, of course to make things worse i told who ever could get it could have it. :laugh: :laugh: Jack

No it was still there after they left and was gone the next mourning. One guy climbed the tree to try and shake them into a box that his buddy was holding standing in the creek under the swarm. ;D climber couldn't get up high enough to shake the limb. Everyone was laughing and hoping he could, might have been quite a show. :laugh: Jack
