That's one huge swarm. Glad you got them back. Saved you the trouble of making a split.😄

This swarm paused on a tree about 40 feet in front of my hives.  I went into the hive I think this came from six days ago, last Sunday.  I knew it was strong and so I added space to the brood nest and added another box.  But I suppose they had already made the decision to swarm.  I’m just so glad my husband saw this, that I had some spare nuc boxes, and that it was literally “low-hanging fruit”.  What a crazy February!
