Swarm-4/10/25

Post by Jacobs »

I was doing a quick check of the 4/8/25 swarm around 12:30pm when the overwintered nuc threw another swarm. The bees are swarming out of the equivalent space of a single 10 frame deep. I used Swarm Commander and tanging to bring it down and got the unmarked queen in a clip. I know for sure that this is the second swarm from that hive and most likely the third. Unless these bees show remarkable build up abilities, I am planning on using these swarms to draw comb, provide resources to other colonies, and to provide frames for my observation hive when needed.
