Got a local swarm..... on the farm
Posted: Sun May 01, 2011 9:29 pm
Got a call from the farmer across the road, small swarm about 14-16 ft up, used the Bobcat bucket to get us up there and Wally helped.
I did not quie line up the box when Wally shook the tree - the result - see below
Evidence of the apprentices mistake , the master suffers
Easier than a ladder
Up there...
Perfect example of Nasonoving - fanning pheromone out to attract the rest of the swarm
Home at last
