Swarm-3/20/24

Post by Jacobs »

I got a call this afternoon about a swarm in a bush near the Coliseum. I estimate it to be about 5lbs. One 10 frame medium did not seem to be enough room, so I added a second. The property owner let me cut several branches of an old bush so that I could get my swarm bucket under the cluster. Once I gathered them, I belted the bucket into the passenger seat of my truck and brought them home. When I confirm brood, I will OAV the colony before there is any capped.
