Hi all…my bee buddy and I just handled the second swarm from one of my hives. He’s taking it with him to start a new hive, and we even found the queen for a minute there. Having been repeatedly frustrated by our inability to find the queen, this was great, to actually see her moving in and out among her new loyal subjects. Once we scooped the bees into a box we had and capped it, we went into the hive and destroyed about 5 swam cells, and added a medium super on top for space and honey. Blair gets the credit for giving a couple of newbees the confidence to catch and deal with a swarm. Thanks again to Blair!
There was nectar galore in both hives, and a huge racket with bees fanning. Just for your general information. Tom |
