One on March 30, One on Mar. 31. two on Apr. 2. Set 4 swarm traps today, March 3.
It's impossible for a beekeeper to retire. :cry:
I retired from beekeeping years ago. I keep getting calls and give them away.
Two calls today. Caught one, but let the lady keep her 4 bees at the other. LOL.

A clear case of incurable "bee fever."

Mark called today and sent me to Asheboro for a swarm. As soon as I got that one boxed and hit the road, he gave me the address for another one. First one about 2 1/2 lb. Second one about 4 lb.
