Swarm 3/29/20

Post by Jacobs »

Picked up a swarm this afternoon where Wally and I got one not too long ago. This afterswarm looked a little less than 3 pounds, but not by a lot. I hived it in another beekeeper's set up to help replace heavy winter losses. From pictures texted to me this morning, it looks like they tried to come out earlier in the day, but the queen did not come out. At mid afternoon, they did come out of the wall of a neighbor's house and landed on this lady's bush. Hopefully it will settle in with a functioning queen.
