Title: Bee swarm in N. Chapel hill - appreciate some advice
I have a single hive that has swarmed, and the swarm is on a low branch near the hive. I am not in a position to try to harvest the swarm, and would appreciate advice from experienced bee keepers.
1) Can I let the swarm go 'native', and hope they will stay close enough to add pollination benefit?
2) Should I let one of you experienced bee keepers come claim the swarm for their well-being and better hope of survival? If this is the best answer, I am 1 mile off I-40 at the New Hope Church exit for someone that might be interested.
