Swarm-4/7/24

Post by Jacobs »

I came home from the Arboretum yesterday afternoon to see a small swarm about 15 feet up in a dogwood over my driveway. I used a capture bag on an extension pole to get them down. It is more likely from one of my hives than a swarm from the outside pausing before moving into one of my bait hives. I have the queen in a catcher clip and the 2+/- pound swarm in a nuc. I'll probably release her this afternoon and see what happens.
